The International Liquid Crystal Society (ILCS) has awarded Tim Wilkinson with a Mid Career Research Excellence Award for pioneering work in liquid crystal device engineering, including many aspects of the application of liquid crystals in novel liquid crystal on silicon diffractive modulators for telecommunications, the revolutionary class of microdisplays capable of real time video projections of two-dimensional and three-dimensional holographic images, and application of nanomaterials in liquid crystal on silicon devices.

The award, sponsored by LG, is in particular recognition of his contributions to the field of LCOS devices for microdisplays and holography. He was presented with his certificate and prize at the 23rd International Liquid Crystal Conference (ILCC), held in July 2010 in Kracow, Poland.
