The Polaroid camera was invented in 1947. Edwin Herbert Land, who invented the Polaroid camera, was an American inventor and industrialist born in Bridgeport, Conn. He became interested in polarized light and invented a material to eliminate glare in 1932. This is now known by the trademark Polaroid. In 1937, he established the Polaroid Corp. to manufacture sunglasses, camera filters, and headlights. He developed a process for three-dimensional pictures in 1941, invented the polaroid camera in 1947 and introduced instant color photographs in 1963. Only Thomas Edison was granted more patents for new inventions than Edwin Land.
