Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on January 12, 1934)

Happy Birthday, James Fergason—the legendary wizard who turned liquid crystals into gold! Your brilliance gave birth to practical LCD screens, making the impossible task of binge-watching countless hours of shows on crystal-clear displays a reality. Seriously though, without your groundbreaking work spanning over 150 U.S. patents and more than 500 abroad—and induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame—we'd probably still be squinting at bulky CRT monitors or using giant cardboard flashcards during PowerPoint presentations.

As another candle flickers onto your cake this year—like pixels illuminating an LCD panel—we celebrate you, James. May today bring clearer vision (pun intended), endless joy brighter than backlit screens, and fewer fingerprints smudging up life's best moments!
