Description:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 The invention of the television\u00a0was the result of the work by many inventors, scientists and engineers in the late 1800\u2019s and early 1900\u2019s.\u00a0 Many inventors made technological breakthroughs that were used by other inventors to successfully make working television systems. \u00a0The first working television systems were electromechanical and used a motor-generator.\u00a0 Electronic television systems or all-electronic television systems do not have or use a motor-generator.\u00a0 These television history facts include\u00a0some of the most notable milestones in the development of television, but\u00a0many other inventors that are not mentioned here played critical roles in the invention of the television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1928<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The first working electronic television (all-electronic) was built by Philo Taylor Farnsworth. The electronic television (all-electronic) system did not use or have the motor-generator that was used in the electromechanical television systems.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1936<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The world’s first analog high definition TV (HDTV or HD) regular service was started in Britain in 1936.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1964<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The first working liquid crystal display (LCD) was built by George H. Heilmeier. The original LCD displays were based on what is called dynamic scattering mode (DSM).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1964<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The first flat plasma display panel (PDP) was invented by Donald Bitzer, Gene Slottow and Robert Willson.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1972<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The first active-matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) panel was produced by Westinghouse.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1977<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The first true all LED flat panel television TV screen was developed by J. P. Mitchell.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1982<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Seiko introduces the world’s first LCD TV watch.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1982 <\/span><\/strong>\u2013 The first mass-produced pocket television was the Sony Watchman FD-210. The Sony Watchman was also the first flat CRT television in production.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1988<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The Sharp Corporation develops the world’s first 14-inch color TFT LCD TV. The LCD TV model was called the Crystaltron.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1995<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The world\u2019s largest LED display, the Fremont Street Experience, in Las Vegas is over 1,500 ft. long and 90 ft. high at the peak.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1996<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The first public digital high-definition television (HDTV or HD) broadcast in the United States. The official US public launch of the HDTV digital broadcasting system is technically considered to be 1998. *HD ready refers to the abilities of television receivers to display high-definition pictures.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2008<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The world\u2019s largest Plasma TV is a 150 inch Plasma TV made by Panasonic, standing 6 ft high and 11 ft wide.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2009<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The world\u2019s largest LED high-definition video display screen in the world is the Mitsubishi Diamond Vision display at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The LED HD display measures 160 ft wide and 72 ft high and is nicknamed the \u201cJerryTron\u201d after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2010<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The world\u2019s largest Plasma 3D TV is a 152 inch Plasma TV made by Panasonic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2010<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The world\u2019s first 3D LED HDTV released by Samsung (Samsung 3D LED 7000). Announced in February, 2010. LG announced the release of their first 3D LED HDTV, the LG LX9500 in March, 2010.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
