ALT 1... that T Peter Brody invented the Active-matrix liquid crystal display for notebook computers?

ALT 2... that T Peter Brody co-invented the most widely used flat panel display?

I added a suggestion for an alternate hook, but the connection between the display and notebook computers needs a citation. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:37, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

ALT 3... that in 1979 T Peter Brody, inventor of the flat panel display, said "The cathode ray tube, like the brontosaurus, will become extinct, and for the same reason: too much bulk, very little brain"?

More hooky? --Senra (Talk) 19:39, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I like this one, or perhaps the following:

ALT 4... that T Peter Brody invented the Thin Film Transistor Active matrix display, the predominant flat panel display technology in use today?

There are a number of sources for the above statement, which I can add to the article if we agree the hook --Cbrody (talk) 01:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Just noted that the article already contains this fact. --Cbrody (talk) 01:40, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

It looks ready for DYK now. Nice article! On the whole, I prefer the first hook to the alternates. What he achieved is interesting enough; it doesn't need dressing up with a quote. RockMagnetist (talk) 20:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Great, thanks for your input. Cbrody (talk) 20:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
