'''Noel Anthony Clark''' (born 17 December 1940 in [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]])<ref>biographical information from ''American Men and Women of Science'', Thomson Gale 2004</ref> is an American physicist, university professor at the [[University of Colorado Boulder]], and pioneer in the development of electro-optical applications of [[liquid crystal]]s.

Clark graduated from [[John Carroll University]] with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and a master's degree in 1965. He received his doctorate from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] in 1970 under [[George Benedek]]. Clark was a postdoc at [[Harvard University]]. At the [[University of Colorado]] he became in 1973 an assistant professor and in 1981 a full professor. There he heads the Liquid Crystal Materials Research Center (later Soft Materials Research Center). In 1984, he was one of the founders of Displaytech, Inc., manufacturing color [[Thin-film transistor|TFN]] modules, monochrome graphic displays, and segmented [[Thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display#Twisted nematic (TN)|TN]] [[Liquid-crystal display|LCD]]s.

In 2006 he received, jointly with [[Robert B. Meyer]], the [[Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize]] for basic theoretical and experimental studies on liquid crystals, in particular their ferroelectric and chiral properties (''laudatio'').<ref name=BuckleyPrize>[http://bit.ly/2GrvvOX Buckley Prize 2006]]</ref> He is a Fellow of the [[American Physical Society]] and the [[American Association for the Advancement of Science]]. Since 2007 he is a member of the [[National Academy of Sciences]]. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1985/86 and received a [[Humboldt Research Award]].
