Who invented the television?
Philo Taylor Farnsworth (August 19, 1906 – March 11, 1971) was an American
inventor and television pioneer. Although he made many contributions that
were crucial to the early development of all-electronic television, he is perhaps
best known for inventing the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup
device (video camera tube), the "image dissector", the first fully functional and
complete all-electronic television system, and for being the first person to
demonstrate such a system to the public. Farnsworth developed a television
system complete with receiver and camera, which he produced commercially
in the firm of the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation, from 1938 to 1951.
