One color photograph of Stanford Ovshinsky, founder of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc., at a conference in Japan. The view shows a small stage area in the foreground and two tables that are covered with white tablecloths. A microphone and a water pitcher can be seen on the nearer table. Stanford Ovshinsky is standing beside the table and is holding a short metal rod in his hands as he is speaking to an audience. He is wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt and tie. A Japanese businessman (possibly a translator) is standing in the left background and is holding a microphone. A folding wooden room divider can be seen in the background along with an overhead sign that has two lines of Japanese characters. A folding projector screen is partially visible at the right edge of the photo. The date, "[19]78 - 1 - 31," is shown in white printed text near the lower center edge. An adhesive note on the verso has handwritten pencil text that reads "Stan giving public lecture in Tokyo, January, 1978. Sponsored by Nikkei Science."
