The Ben Sturgeon Prize\u00a0is made annually by the Society for Information Display (UK and Ireland Chapter) in conjunction with the BLCS, to individuals or groups who have made a significant contribution to the development of displays. Since the inauguration of the award, many recipients have made advances in liquid crystal displays. Ben Sturgeon worked in this area but, recently, new display technologies have developed and it is intended to make the award in the future to a wider scope of technologies. The criterion will remain to make the award to those young scientists and engineers who have made a significant contribution to the field of displays. Since this is an award made by the UK & Ireland Chapter of the SID, it is expected that a significant fraction (but not necessarily all) of the work will have taken place in the UK or Ireland.<\/p>\n
