Definitely not an accurate claim, but not surprised. After all, Sarnoff "invented" TV and radio, and Gore invented the internet...
ITT-Gilfillan had a working plasma display a decade earlier. I was on a tour of their plant in Van Nuys, CA in the mid 80s, and saw the demonstration. That one was for military purposes, and as I mentioned, was monochrome.
