History of Television

Timeline of TV History

Late 1800s

Paul Gottlieb Nipkow- developed the first ever mechanical module of television. He succeeded in sending images through wires with the help of a rotating metal disk. This technology was called the “electric telescope”that had 18 lines of resolution.

1907

A.A. Campbell-Swinton and Boris Rosing, used the cathode ray tube in addition to the mechanical scanner system, to create a new television system.

From the experiments of Nipkow and Rosing, two types of television systems came into existence: mechanical television and electronic television.

Mechanical Television History

1923Charles Jenkins used the disk idea of Nipkow to invent the first ever practical mechanical television system.

1931 His Radiovisor Model 100 was being sold in a complete kit as a mechanical television.

1926John Logie Baird, was the first person to have succeeded in transmitting moving pictures through the mechanical disk system started by Nipkow. He also started the first ever TV studio.

1934All television systems had converted into the electronic system, which is what is being used even today.

Electronic Television History

1927Philo Taylor Farnsworth had created the first electronic television system, which did away with the rotating disks and other mechanical aspects of mechanical television. Thus was born the television system which is the basis of all modern TVs.All the early television systems were black and white,

with color television being invented much later on.
