Edward Peter Raynes FRS HonFInstP (born 4 July 1945)[1] is Professor of Optoelectronic Engineering at the University of Oxford (since 1998). He was, and continues to be, an early developer and advocate of liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Raynes was educated at St Peter's School, York and obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge;[citation needed] he then worked at RSRE (Malvern) for 21 years until 1991. He is a Fellow of St Cross College. He has been the chief scientist of Sharp Laboratories (Europe) since 1992.
