Chester Carlson

Chester Carlson was an American physicist and inventor, best known for inventing the process of electrophotography, which later became known as xerography. Born on February 8, 1906, Carlson developed this innovative copying process in the late 1930s. He created the first dry photocopying technique, which used a combination of static electricity and light to produce images on paper, paving the way for modern photocopiers and laser printers.
