Description
The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) established one of the longest-lived and most important corporate research laboratories in the electrical engineering field in Princeton, New Jersey in 1942. The labs contributed important developments to the military effort and after the war addressed many consumer and industrial fields, including color television, high-fidelity phonographs and tape recorders, lasers, computers, semiconductors, advanced vacuum tubes, and videodisc players. This oral history by three members of the laboratory staff in the late 1950s and 60s describes the cultural environment of the labs and their personal experiences in developing early integrated circuit (MOS), optoelectronic (LCD), and other computing-related technologies.
