When Was The First Television Invented?

There is no singular inventor of the television, over the course of around forty-two years several different people contributed to the world's first working television.

The first step towards television came when a German student, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, patented the first electromechanical television system which employed a spinning disk however moving images were still not possible.
Once technology had advanced in 1926 John Logie Baird, using Nipkow's design, gave the world it's first true demonstration of television. He had managed to produce an image of 30 lines resolution, at this point in time the television was still mechanical. It was the same year that Kálmán Tihanyi, an engineer from Hungary, designed a fully electronic television and employing the principle of "charge storage" within the scanning tube.

The television was even further developed by 1927 when a Russian inventor named Léon Theremin developed a television system which achieved an image resolution of 100 lines by using interlacing.
In the same year Herbert E. Ives from the American Telephone & Telegraph Company managed to transmit moving images from a 50-aperture disk producing 16 frames per minute over a cable from Washington, DC to New York City, and via radio from New Jersey.

The world's first working electronic television system was demonstrated to the press in September of 1928 by Philo Farnsworth, an American inventor. It was in 1928 that the first television stations were founded. By 1936 the BBC had began transmitting the world's first public regular service in north London. Around the same Kálmán Tihanyi, who had designed the first electronic television, described the principle of plasma display, the first flat panel display system.

After several experiments with television Guillermo González Camarena eventually lead to the patent of colour television as well as the remote control in 1940.
Regular television programming in the U.S. Did not begin until 1948.

The television was invented by a Scottish engineer named John Logie Baird. John Logie Baird was born on August 13, 1988 and died on June 14, 1946. The actual modern day television was invented by many different people over time, but John Logie Baird was the foremost television pioneer that made major advancements and accomplishments that laid the ground work for future television inventors. He is accredited for being the first person to produce a live, moving television image in halftones by reflected light. He presented his first unit in January 1926. It was a unit that projected 12.5 moving pictures and this unit is considered to be the very first television. Two years later in July 1928, John Logie Baird was successful in projecting a colour image on his television unit. Also in 1928, he introduced the stereoscopic television and in 1932, he demonstrated the first ultra-short wave transmission.

The credit for inventing the modern television goes to two different people from two different places who were working at the same time. Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, an American born in Russia and was working for Westinghouse Corporation in Pittsburgh. Philo Taylor Farnsworth was a farm boy from the state of Utah.

Vladimir Kosma Zworykin is usually known as the father of modern television because the patent for the electron scanning tube, which is supposed to be the heart of the TV was first applied for by Zworykin in 1923. The electron scanning tube was known as iconoscope.

But Farnsworth was the first of the two inventors who was successful in demonstrating the transmission of television signals, on September 7, 1927. This was done with the help of a scanning tube of his own design. Farnsworth received a patent for his electron scanning tube in 1930.

Although Zworykin applied for the patent in 1923, it was rejected since it was not functional. Zworykin was able to duplicate Farnsworth scanning tube only in 1934 and his patent was accepted in 1938.

In the 1930's, though television was put on hold during the Second World War, reintroduced in the late 1940's.

The television was invented by a number of people, who created various elements of it, but the first working demonstration of the television as we think of it now was given by John Logie Baird on the 26th January 1926.

The television is a machine for receiving communications broadcast over distance.  The communications take the form of simultaneous sound and vision.  Television comes from a mixture of Greek and Latin words 'tele' meaning far and vision meaning to see.

A traditional television signal breaks down the picture as a collection of pixels, as the brain can assemble a picture built of tiny pieces, the brain's ability to do this is a major part of the success of the working television.  Your distance from the pixels will enable your brain to unconsciously do this.  Further, the brain helps the movement of the picture by viewing the playing of stills at high speed as continuous motion.

It was invented by Scottish Man John Logie Baird .

The first working television which transmitted moving images with tone graduation was invented on 26th January 1926. Television is basically a telecommunication system which is used for broadcasting and getting motion pictures. The word television is originated from diverse Latin and Greek roots which denote "far sight".

The origin of modern television dates back to as far as photoconductivity of elements like selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873, and also the creation of scanning disk which was done by Paul Nipkow in 1884. Nearly all the televisions use the system of scanning an image to obtain a time series signal image. That image is then broadcasted to a gadget to reverse the scanning process. Electromechanical methods were researched and developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s the person known to pioneer these researches was John Logie Baird.

Well, I think, that, heaps of people invented it, but, really, its really stupid, because, I'm, like, doing a project & I don't know the answer, so, all the websites I've been to that have the same question I asked, are all totally different!!! So, I am very confused, & I don't know which one I should put down as my answer!!!! HELP ME!!!

I really think it was in the 1920's

1923 should be the year.

There are several different stages in the process of inventing the television.the first step can be traced back to 1873 when they discovered the photoconductivity of selenium. In 1884 the scanning disk was invented. But the first incarnation of modern tv cabinets was in 1926.

On 26 January 1926, John Logie Baird demonstrated at his laboratory in London, the transmission of moving images with grayscale on television system. Later on 3 July 1928, he practically demonstrated the worlds first color television transmission.

Charles Francis Jenkins is another person who lists the television invention. He was the first showed the mechanical television in 1923. In 1928, Frank Conrad converted the movie-film-to-television at Westinghouse and the wire long distance(1927) and the two-way television in 1930 was invented by Frank Gray and Herbert E. Ives at Bell Labs.

On 25 August 1934 in Philadelphia, the first electronic television to be demonstrated to the public was by Farnsworth at the Franklin Institute. Several programmes were telecasted across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the Soviet Union.

I think television is da best because I get 2 watch what ever when ever

John Logi
Baird invented the TV and he was very proud of it I heard.

Inventor of television?

The date when he was born is wrong nd when he die 2

1967 by simran singh who was one of the people, who invented the television.

Many people have claimed to be the original inventor of the television. Several individuals, including John Logie Baird, have invented various prototypes of the television. It was traced back to the discovery of the photoconductivity of the chemical element which is known as selenium. The photoconductivity of selenium was discovered by Willoughby Smith in the year 1873. Paul Nipkow improvised upon the earlier model of the telectroscope and invented the scanning disk in the year 1884.

John Logie Baird, however, gave the first public demonstration in the world of the working television system which transmitted live moving images and had tone graduation (greyscale) on January 26, 1926 in the city of London, the capital of the United Kingdom. He then demonstrated the first colour television transmission in the world on July 3, 1928. Other inventors, like Charles Francis Jenkins, Frank Conrad, Frank Gray and Herbert E. Ives also made improvements upon the earlier prototypes of the radio in later years.

In 1925 John Logie Baird showed TV images of stationary objects and in 1926 of moving ones.By 1928 he was broadcasting colour TV.His system though was electro mechanical and wasn't really capable of development and the first really practical system was introduced by EMI .
The BBC began TV broadcasts in 1936.

Gloria

It was invented on 1234 century .

Who posted this answer? It was noticeable that the year of birth and year of death was not correct, Now the question is ,, is this answer is credible or not?

Born  date  and  dead  date  is  wrong

HAVE NO IDEA... PROBABLY John F. Kennedy..

I am sure that there is such a illusion of television.  It does not exist.  This fact is known to be true.  This discovery is credited to the scottish philosopher Lauren Buchal and the English Chemisit Jenna Fleming

The foundation of the television dates back to as far as the discovery of photoconductivity of the component selenium by Willoughby Smith in the year 1873. Television also carries some traces of the scanning disk which was invented by Paul Nipkow in the year 1884.

Electromechanical methods were initially researched in the 1920s and 1930s mainly by John Logie Baird who was a famous Scottish engineer. Baird made the first ever working television which broadcasted moving images in the year 1926. Other people who helped develop the Television technology were Charles Francis Jenkins, Frank Conrad, Frank Gray and Herbert E. Ives.

There was regular broadcasting in countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Soviet Union before the World War II broke out. There was regular network broadcasting post 1946 and television became part of the American house hold by mid 1950's.

Well, thank you for your comment, but I firmly believe that under certain circumstances, the television could help. I mean, we all actually sit there and watch nothing. I did come up with this fantasy because this issue is very special to me, so I am very glad that you are recognizing me. I am scottishly believing that all we do is buy NOTHING. We buy no dvd players, no video games, no movies, in fact, all we get is empty boxes. You may think that there is something there, but you are in fact, WRONG. I am sorry to burst your bubble, but the television will NOT nor EVER be real to any of us. Jenna Fleming also agrees, so, get off my back. She is an english chemiscist, SO SUCK IT.
