Larry Hornbeck

Hall of fame inductee Larry Hornbeck invented the Digital Micromirror Device, an array of up to 2 million hinged microscopic aluminum mirrors on a silicon chip, according to Invent Now materials. These tiny mirrors tilt thousands of times a second, projecting light through a lens and onto a screen and forming the basis for modern imaging technology, according to Invent Now.
