The world's first television system, The Televisor, by John Logie Baird is also the world's first flat screen television. The display used a backlight of varying intensity with a rotating disc in front of the light to act as a shutter. As the shutter exposed each part of the image, the lamp intensity was adjusted to create a light or dark area. The Televisor was first demonstrated to the public in 1925 and went into scheduled service by the BBC in 1929, so becoming the first regular broadcasts.
By the mid 1930s, the televisor was being replaced by cathode ray tubes. These have remained in use until plasma and LCD televisions once again made flat screen televisions available in the late 1990s.
LCD displays have been available from the 1980s but were limited in size and quality. The improvements in design and manufacturing have seen a gradual increase in both size and quality of image over the past two decades.
