John Logie Baird was the first person to demonstrate a fully operation television system and it was partly mechanical. It ws first shown to the public in 1925 and was put into public service by the BBC in 1929.

The mechanical part of the television was a rotating disc with a number of holes punched through the disc. As it rotated, the holes passed light through the disc. The back light varied in intensity to create an image.

What year was the television invented in America?

Television was invented in the year of 1948. 2nd Answer: The above answer is quite wrong. The first TV broadcast was in 1939 in New York, and the TV was invented by an Idaho farm boy named Philo Farnsworth, who invented many other things in his lifetime. His television, the first with no mechanical parts that could actually broadcast an image was demonstrated in 1929.


Did Philo Farnsworth invent electronic television?

He invented electronic television in the year 1927. This was an improvement on the technology of John Logie-Baird, whose television had some mechanical parts.


When the television invented?

In the late 1800's a German student names Paul Gottlieb Nipkow developed the first mechanical module of television. He was able to send images through wires with the help of a rotating metal disk. This was called the "electric telescope" and had 18 lines of resolution. In 1907 two inventors used the cathode ray tube with the mechanical scanner system to create a new system. American inventor Charles Jenkins in 1923 invented the first practical mechanical television system. British inventor John Logie Baird was the first person to transmit moving pictures through a mechanical disk system first used by Nipkow. This was done in 1926, but from 1926 to 1931 the mechanical television system was improved and by 1934 it was converted into the electronic system that is still in use today. All early TV was black and white and it wasn't until later color TV will be invented.
