Who made the colour tv?

Answer 1

The very first attempts at creating color television picture started immediately after the creation of first mechanical black and white televisions in 1880s. While French inventor Maurice Le Blanc proposed creation of mechanical color television, it was Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik patented a color television system in 1897, managing to achieve color reproduction by using selenium photoelectric cell, electromagnet, prism and oscillating mirror. Sadly for Szczepanik, this system did not work well and this invention remained unsuccessful.

Successful prototype of mechanical television system came from Scottish inventor John Logie Baird, who after managing to create black and white television set from common materials (bicycle lamps, cardboard, biscuit tin, string and daring needles) tackled the problem of colors. His solution involved use 3 light sources and 3 spiraling discs that combined their rays of primary light to create visible color image. He demonstrated his invention on July 3, 1928, drawing amazement from the crowd that gathered in droves to see the 30 minute broadcasting of music and traditional Irish stories, and even first ever television commercial for Daily Mail in the UK.

Answer 2

John Logi Baird, a Scotsman is often credited with the invention of the first colour television in the 1940s but the history of colour TV is rather more complex. He was certainly one of the first to produce an image that showed colour but most would agree that it was a far cry from the colour television that reached people's home some 10 years or so later. The first commercially and technically viable system was launched in the US in the 50's and was the result of research and experimentation by many many people. I would hesitate to call it an invention but more a development of many concepts put forward over the previous years. The US colour television system was eventually based on a colour encoding system that was developed and approved by committees rather than a single person. A search of the web will produce several interesting sites that describe the development of colour television.

Answer 3

The first color television was the color Televisor, demonstrated and built by John Logie Baird in 1928. It was a development of the first Televisor shown in 1925, a black and white version.

The television never went into production and it was 1953 before the first commercial color television was seen.

Hovannes (Ivan) Abgari Adamian (Armenian_language: Հովհաննես Ադամյան; 5 February 1879, Baku- 12 September 1932, Leningrad) was an Armeniansengineer, an author of more than 20 inventions.

Answer 5

John Logie Baird produced the first color television in 1929. It was experimental and at the time was not a practical system to use commercially. He also produced the first black and white television in 1925 and that system had just been put into commercial use by the BBC in England in 1929.

In 1939, he proposed a fully electronic color television system and although he never made it work, much of his proposal was used to develop the color systems we are using today.

The very first public color broadcasts were made in the early 1950s in America. Although it was a commercial system, it lasted only a few months. It was 1955 when NTSC color broadcasts began in America and 1967 when PAL color was used in the UK. Both systems remain in use today and both use encoding systems that are based on Bairds 1939 proposals.

Answer 6

John Logie Baird was the first to demonstrate black and white television in 1925 and in 1928 he showed off a full color television system. It was a cumbersome set of equipment using three spinning discs and it never got past an experimental stage. However, he showed he principle of mixing three colors to generate full color in a television system and those principles are still in use today.

The first public use of color television was in 1952 in the US although the service was not a commercial success and was withdrawn after only a few months. In 1954, a new color service was launched using the NTSC color encoding standard which is still in use today.

Europe was somewhat later to introduce color with the BBC in England starting regular broadcasts in 1967.

Answer 7

The first color television was owned by John Logie Baird, the Scottish inventor of television. His first working television was demonstrated in 1925 in London and by 1928, he had the color version working as well. Sadly for Mr Baird, owning his own color television wasn't much use to him. Although he produced a full color studio system to go with the color television, it was never put into service so his color television remained unused.

The first commercially available color televisions made an appearance in 1953 in the US. The system was a commercial failure and only a few thousand televisions were sold before the service was withdrawn with a few months.

Who was the first consumers to buy one of the 1953 televisions? We will never know.
