Why did john Logie Baird Invent TV?

Answer 1

It had been the ambition of many people in the late 19th century to produce moving images carried instantly. Attempts in several countries around the world had come close to achieving that aim but it was the work of Baird that finally produced a system that could be demonstrated in 1925. His work was based on developments of several other people but he is known as the inventor of television because his was the first successful system. His own work spanned many years to reach that point.

Four years after the first demonstration, the BBC adopted his system and began public broadcasting in 1929.

Baird went on to put forward proposals for a high definition color system in 1939. Although the technology of the time would not support his proposals, his ideas for color broadcasting were used in future developments to deliver color images to people's homes in the 1950s.

Answer 2

There is not a great deal known about how Baird reached the point of the first working television. He certainly devoted a huge amount of time to the work but he was not alone in his efforts. His first public demonstration was in 1925 but engineers and scientists had been grappling with the idea of live moving images ever since the introduction of telegraphy and radio some decades earlier.

One of the breakthroughs in television was by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German engineer. He developed the Nipkow disc, a disc with numerous holes that could be used to "draw" spiral images. He patented the idea bit although the patent was granted in 1885, a similar disc had been used some forty years earlier to transmit what might now be described as a fax.

Baird made use of the Nipkow disc, as others had tried. Baird was the first to successfully add the electronic systems around the disc to create a full television system from camera to television. He called it the "Televisor" and it was put into public use in 1929 by the BBC.

The system was limited for many reasons and in 1936, Baird's system was replaced by a fully electronic one in the BBC. The electronic systems marked the end of the electro-mechanical versions and paved the way for increased resolution and viewing quality. Although Baird produced a very primitive system, it must be remembered that he was extending technology to its limits at the time. Make no mistake, in delivering the first working television system he should be remembered as a fine engineer and an accomplished inventor.

Answer 3

John Logie Baird is remembered as the inventor of mechanical television, radar and fiber optics. Successfully tested in a laboratory in late 1925 and unveiled with much fanfare in London in early 1926, mechanical television technology was quickly usurped by electronic television, the basis of modern video technology. Nonetheless, Baird's achievements, including making the first trans-Atlantic television transmission, were singular and critical scientific accomplishments. Lonely, driven, tireless and often poor, the native Scot defined the pioneering spirit of scientific inquiry.
