The earliest electronic device was the diode which was invented in 1873. The first diodes were both crystal and thermionic valve (vacuum tube) based devices; the first valve diode was in 1873, the first crystal diode in 1874.

Edison also developed a diode independently.

In the early 20th century, the first triodes were developed - which could amplify signals and electronics was largely valve based until the early 1960s, despite transistors being developed in 1923.
