So, Who Invented the Television?
Who invented the television? Originally called the “Mechanical Television
Era”, the early version had a picture that was a blurry orange-red,
electronically produced very tiny image created with a spinning disc. Scottish
inventor, John Logie Baird, first demonstrated the first public TV display in
1926, but it wasn’t until the next year that Bell Telephone and AT&T introduced
the first TV to America.
TV electronics have changed
The age of TV electronics had
begun, but had a long road ahead. The first TV sold in America was the 1938 Du
Mont Model- 180 which sold for $395! Only four of these early TV sets are
believed to still exist. In the 1930’s, Manufacturers like GE, RCA, Du Mont,
Baird, Andrea built the early TV electronic sets inside handcrafted wood
cabinets to match the consumers’ home. By the Forties and Fifties, new
televisions by new companies like Emerson, Motorola, and Zenith joined the fray.
The greatest change was developed in the 1950’s when both the electronic color
TV and TV remote control were introduced.
Today, we have numerous types of televisions.
Slowly disappearing, the CRT is being replaced with the ‘thin’ LCD and plasma
TVs while in the larger sizes, the DLP and
LCD projection TVs. Most of these are now displaying High Definition (HDTV)
television images.
