From page 9...
... The photorefractives offer a real prospect for meeting the requirements for this application. Recent work has demonstrated the photorefractive effect in organic materials, but basic research directed toward understanding the issues of temporal stability and separation of the chemistry underlying information retrieval and information storage remains to be done.

From page 10...
... displays are currently based on twisted nematic liquid crystals and require at least one substrate transistor to drive each pixel. Use of surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals would provide greatly increased switching speed and a wider viewing angle and would, in principle, simplify the display design.

From page 11...
... Fundamental studies of these and other aspects of resist materials are essential to the continued evolution of integrated circuit dimensions and the computing power gain that flows therefrom. An area of special opportunity is basic studies of the phenomena that underlie resist function.
