  3. WHO IS EDWIN H LAND?

  4. Profile • Born May 7, 1909, physicist and inventor Edwin Land attended Harvard University briefly before setting up his own laboratory to study light polarization and to create filters for sunglasses and cameras. He founded the Polaroid Corporation in 1937 and introduced its instant camera with self-developing film in 1947. Harvard awarded Land an honorary degree in 1957. NAME: Edwin Herbert Land OCCUPATION: Inventor, Physicist BIRTH DATE: May 07, 1909 DEATH DATE: March 01, 1991 EDUCATION: Harvard University PLACE OF BIRTH: Bridgeport, Connecticut PLACE OF DEATH: Cambridge, Massachusetts

  5. EDWIN H. LAND was distinguished for his inventions and contributions in the fields of polarized light, photography and colour vision. He has had an impact on the lives of many millions of people and has provided large-scale employment in many countries for over five decades. The Polaroid Corporation, which Land founded, may continue to do so for many more. He mastered the art of giving the people what they wanted at a price they could afford. He has had few peers in the advancement and application of natural science to everyday life. Land’s achievements spanned the disciplines of art, science, technology and commerce. • In the field of polarized light, he was responsible for the invention, development and efficient commercial production of the first sheet polarizers, for a sequence of subsequent polarizers, and for the theory and practice of many applications of polarized light. Such devices are widely used today in liquid crystal displays (LCD), in sunglasses and in scientific and medical research. The trade name ‘Polaroid’ has become the accepted generic name for these sheets. • In the field of photography, Land developed the cameras and associated special films that produce almost instantaneous dry pictures directly from the camera. He mastered the complex physicochemical science that gave neutral or coloured, continuous-tone, instantaneous photographs. All of this required a team of first-class scientists and technicians that he led with great success. Novel equipment, using these colour systems, has also been widely exploited, including versions where the colour photograph develops in daylight.
