who invented television?

Answer 1

German, Paul Nipkow developed a rotating-disc technology to transmit pictures over wire in 1884 called the Nipkow disk. This was the very first electromechanical TV scanning system. Nipkow's system was abandoned early in the history of TV for the electronic systems developed by later inventors.

Answer 2

Television was not invented by a single person, but by the contributions of several individuals.

The origins of what would become today's television system can be traced back to the discovery of the photoconductivity of the element selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873.

Followed by the work on the telectroscope and the invention of the scanning disk by Paul Nipkow in 1884.

John Logie Baird gave the world's first public demonstration of a working television system that transmitted live moving images with tone graduation (grayscale) on 26 January 1926 at his laboratory in London, and built a complete experimental broadcast system around his technology.

Completely electronic television systems relied on the inventions of Philo Taylor Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworykin and others to produce a system suitable for mass distribution of television programming.

Farnsworth gave the world's first public demonstration of an all-electronic television system at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on 25 August 1934.

Answer 3

It was John Logie Baird in 1930 when he presented a television receiver for use in 10 Downing Street for Ramsey MacDonald, the then British prime minister.
John Logie Baird's enthusiasm , and his genius for publicity, led to the realisation of television's potential for mass entertainment. The Baird Company opened a television studio in London in 1928. Later that year the world's first scheduled television service was launched in the USA by the General Electric Company's Station WGY Schenectady, New York. Their first transmissions were of the faces of men talking, laughing and smoking.

Answer 4

Inventing a Television was not a easy job, Its today's form has contribution of several persons, But the record stands in the name of Mr. J.L. Baird.

Answer 5

John Logie Baird

Answer 6

V.K ZWORYKIN got a patent (P) for his invention the television in 1928. But in all fairness, others may have contributed to the invention as well, so take into account the other names you see here.

Answer 7

John Baird in the 1930's using recycled materials like bicycle wheels...etc

Overview - Timeline of TV Development-

Paul Gottlieb Nipkow - Mechanical Television History
German, Paul Nipkow developed a rotating-disc technology to transmit pictures over wire in 1884 called the Nipkow disk. This was the very first electromechanical TV scanning system. Nipkow's system was abandoned early in the history of TV for the electronic systems developed by later inventors.

John Logie Baird - Mechanical-

John Logie Baird is remembered as being an inventor of mechanical television. Mechanical television, an earlier version of TV that was discontinued, was developed in late 1920s in England. During W.W.II, Baird developed the first color picture tube. Learn about Baird's mechanical television system.

Charles Francis Jenkins - Mechanical-

What John Logie Baird did towards the development and promotion of mechanical television in Britain, Charles Francis Jenkins did for North America. Jenkins invented a mechanical television system called radiovision and claimed to have transmitted the earliest moving silhouette images on June 14, 1923.

The History of the Cathode Ray Tube-

Electronic television is based on the development of the cathode ray tube, which is the picture tube found in modern TV sets. German scientist, Karl Braun invented the cathode ray tube oscilloscope (CRT) in 1897.

Vladimir Kosma Zworykin - Electronic Television History-

Vladimir Kosma Zworykin invented the cathode-ray tube called the kinescope in 1929, a tube needed for TV transmission. Vladimir Kosma Zworykin also invented the iconoscope, an early television camera. See the personal photographs of television pioneer Dr. Vladimir Kosma Zworykin and his involvement with television history.

Philo T. Farnsworth - Electronic-

The full story of Philo T. Farnsworth. Philo T. Farnsworth was the farm boy who conceived the basic operating principles of electronic television at the age of just 13 years. Learn about Philo T. Farnsworth and the "Television System." See the patent drawings of Philo T. Farnsworth's inventions.

Books on Television History-

Books about the complete history of TV, early black and white, color, and digital systems. The evolution of studio cameras, video recording and broadcast equipment and the interesting biographies about TV innovators such as Farnsworth, Baird, and Zworykin.

Innovations-

Color Television-

Color TV was by no means a new idea, a German patent in 1904 contained the earliest proposal, while in 1925 Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic color television system. Learn about the RCA color television system - Living Color - The history of early color television.

Louis Parker - Television Receiver-

Louis Parker invented the modern changeable television receiver. The patent was issued to Louis Parker in 1948.

The History of Cable TV-

Cable television, formerly known as Community Antenna Television or CATV, was born in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the late 1940's.

The History of Closed Captioning TV-

TV closed captions are captions that are hidden in the television video signal, invisible without a special decoder.

Rabbit Ears - Antennae-

Marvin Middlemark invented "rabbit ears", the "V" shaped TV antennae. Among Middlemark's other inventions were a water-powered potato peeler and rejuvenating tennis ball machine.

Remote Controls-

It was in June of 1956, that the TV remote controller first entered the American home. The first TV remote control called "Lazy Bones," was developed in 1950 by Zenith Electronics Corporation (then known as Zenith Radio Corporation).

Web TV-

Web TV was rolled out in 1996.

Plasma TV-

The very first prototype for a plasma display monitor was invented in 1964 by Donald Bitzer, Gene Slottow, and Robert Willson.

Broadcasting History-

Origins of Children's Programming
The American Broadcasting Company first aired Saturday morning TV shows for children on August 19, 1950.
