I remember the Setmakers period photo but seeing one 'in the wild' is very exciting.
Also the first publicly available LCD TV of course.
It uses a steady light source that is modulated with a Kerr Cell, the output of which is fed to a mirror drum to provide the scanning. So, although not individual LCD pixels, it still uses LCD technology...
