Awards: None found
Achievements: is known for her work on low temperature, glass-compatible, high-speed polysilicon coatings for large area electronics, otherwise known as thin-film transistor technology, or TFT; while working at Memorex invented an organic photoconductor-based microfilm for computer data recording & produced magnetic tape and disk coating formulations with improved dispersion of magnetic particles; 1971 began working at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) & invented several novel display devices there, including a stylus-writable electrophoretic display, a phototransistor, and a new material for a low-cost electrophoretic display
her research and development work on flat panel displays, semiconductor devices, and optical/magnetic recording has been applied industry-wide
today’s light weight, radiation-free, space- and energy-efficient, portable flat panel display personal computers are a direct result of her work, which also helps to enable the development of today’s high performance, pocket-sized, portable communication systems
since 2002 a principal of Chiang Consulting, a privately owned company that she formed in Cupertino, California; 12 patents found
