Inventors

The TV system consists of three main parts, i.e., camera, broadcasting, and TV. In order to build the TV in the early years, the inventor had to build all the components, which was very challenging for the early inven-tor. Not only was it necessary to build the TV, the camera had to be built as well, because the TV alone would not work. For early broadcasting, the simple technique of transmitting over a line was used.


However, several years after all of the components of the TV system were invented, they were so improved that they performed reliably. However, the system could only produce black and white pictures. The inventors had to work hard again to bring real-life color to all TVs. However, history does not make it clear who first developed color TV. We will discuss the people who made major contributions to the development of the TV technology we have today.
