What year was the color television invented?

Answer 1

The Development of Color Television
A German patent in 1904 contained the earliest recorded proposal for a color television system. In 1925, Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic colour television system. Both of these systems were not successful, however, they were the first for color television. A successful color television system began commercial broadcasting, first authorized by the FCC on December 17, 1953 based on a system designed by RCA.

Answer 2

I think this is here because he used the word transcendental in his question, lol. To answer your question- Guillermo González Camarena invented an early color television system. He received US patent 2296019 on September 15, 1942 for his "chromscopic adapter for television equipment". González Camarena publicly demonstrated his color television with a transmission on August 31, 1946. The color transmission was broadcast direct from the his laboratory in Mexico City. Oh, and he died in a car accident in 1965. Not a drug bust.

A German patent in 1904 contained the earliest recorded proposal for a color television system. In 1925, Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic colour television system. Both of these systems were not successful, however, they were the first for color television. A successful color television system began commercial broadcasting, first authorized by the FCC on December 17, 1953 based on a system designed by RCA.

"Between 1946 and 1950 the research staff of RCA Laboratories invented the world’s first electronic, monochrome compatible, color television system."




The very first RCA color TV was dubbed "The Merrill," model CT-100, and it sold for a suggested retail price of $1,000 in 1954 - roughly equivalent to $6,000 in today's money and about the same price as an automobile for the 1950's consumer. Featuring an innovative 15-inch Tri-color picture tube, fewer than 5,000 of the first RCA CT-100 color TV receivers were produced in that first year. Today, Thomson's high-volume television manufacturing facilities can produce more RCA digital high-definition color TV receivers in two days than RCA was able to make in the initial year of all-electronic color TV production.

Fewer than 25 of the original CT-100 models are known to be in working condition, including two CT-100 units at Thomson's RCA consumer products headquarters in Indianapolis. A working CT-100 will be featured on a special remote broadcast on QVC that will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first all-electronic RCA color TV and offer an opportunity for viewers to purchase the latest RCA high-definition TV technology for their living rooms.
