Paul Nipkow's try

1884

German inventor Paul Nipkow developed a rotating disc technology to transmit pictures over wire in 1884 called the Nipkow disk. Nipkow is credited with discovering television's scanning principle, in which the light intensities of small portions of an image are successively analyzed and transmitted.

cathode ray tube

The advent of electronic television is based on the development of the cathode ray tube, which is the picture tube found in modern TV sets. German scientist Karl Braun invented the cathode ray tube oscilloscope (CRT) in 1897.

color tv

1953

One of the earliest proposals for a color TV system was filed in 1880. And in 1925, Russian TV pioneer Vladimir Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic color television system. A successful color television system began commercial broadcasting, first authorized by the FCC on December 17, 1953, based on a system invented by RCA.

plasma tv

1964

Plasma display panels use small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases to generate high-quality imagery. The very first prototype for a plasma display monitor was invented in 1964 by Donald Bitzer, Gene Slottow and Robert Willson.
