`Curriculum Vitae of Richard A. Flasck
`
`My forty-nine year professional career has involved high tech product development,
`intellectual property (IP) issues, projection displays, lens and optical system design,
`thin film optical filters, non-imaging optics, LCD flat panel displays and modules,
`backlighting of flat panel displays, light emitting diode (LED) product development,
`injection molding, chip-on-board development, and High Definition Television (HDTV)
`systems.
`
` I
`
` am an inventor on twenty-six patents (26), both US and foreign, including one US
`design patent. I have concluded several licensing agreements, demonstrating both
`technical innovation and expertise in Intellectual Property (IP) issues. Additionally, on
`several occasions I have testified before the US International Trade Commission and in
`US District Court as an expert witness on display technology.
`
` I
`
` am also an author of twenty-five (25) published papers and conference presentations.
