3. The credit to who invented the television as we know it today, an electronic model, was a bit of a power struggle. One inventor had the patent, but his television’s design wasn’t quite there yet, while the other had a fully working television but only applied for a patent later. The Russian Vladimir K. Zworykin applied for a patent for an electron scanning tube (a part that could be considered to be the “heart” of a television) in 1923 already, but could not get his television to work until 1934.

4. Philo Taylor Farnsworth successfully demonstrated the first television signal transmission on September 7, 1927 with his own scanning tube. A legal battle ensued in the late thirties, when RCA, the company Zworykin worked for wanted to claim the right to the patent (and the royalties). The court however ruled in favor of Fransworth, giving him patent priority and making him, officially the inventor of the first fully functional, all-electronic television.
