At the turn of the 20th century, the TV as we know it today was only a dream in the eyes of inventors. Many believed they could take the basic concepts applied to the transmission of sound and apply them to the transmission of pictures. It would be unfair to say the invention of the television is attributed to one person. Philo T. Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworykin, Charles Jenkins and John Baird all attributed greatly to the invention of the modern television each supplying their own piece of the puzzle.
We've moved through cathode ray tubes, digital light processing, plasma display panel, liquid crystal displays and organic light-emitting diodes. Who knows what is next, but we'll watch it, I am sure.
This week, a look at view screens.
TTFN, Fred.
