JOHN LOGIE BAIRD

1888-1946

John Logie Baird was a scottish engineer and inventor of the world's first practical, publicly demonstrated television system, and also the world's first fully electronic colour television tube. Although Baird's electromechanical system was eventually displaced by purely electronic systems, Baird's early successes demonstrating working television broadcasts and his colour and cinema television work earned him a prominent place in television's history.
