Tamas Peter Brody (18 April 1920 – 18 September 2011) was a British-naturalised physicist and the co-inventor of active matrix thin-film transistor display technology together with Fang-Chen Luo, having produced the world's first active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AM-LCD) in 1972 and the first functional AM-EL (electroluminescent display) in 1973 while employed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Pittsburgh. Brody coined the term "active matrix" and first used it in a published journal article in 1975.
