You are moving the goal posts from it being a consumer product to requiring it to be large, good, and uniform. Yes, there was engineering work to make such a consumer product, but it is something I would expect there to have been line of sight for. |

The first LCD products I remember were things like 7 segment digital watches and calculators where the LCD was passive and the "pixels" were large. I am not super familiar with how that went from lab to consumer product but I imagine even there it was non-trivial.
It took a long time to progress to modern LCD displays. It took years to get from small black and white displays, to small color, to larger and larger displays. Productizing this stuff includes building machines, factories, ASICs, and figuring out a lot of technology as you go along.
