1875

Thomson and Carey

1875 – Thomson transmits wireless signals. George R. Carey of Boston proposes a television system in which every picture element is transmitted simultaneously, each over a separate circuit. A large number of photoelectric cells are arranged on a panel, facing the image, and wired to a panel carrying the same number of bulbs.
