What year was the color TV invented?

As with any invention, there were alternate development branches and missteps a plenty. It is difficult to fix the exact date when color television was born, but Magoun says late-fall 1951 is as good a date as any. The IEEE is presenting a Milestone award to Sarnoff, successor to RCA, to honor this accomplishment. Ninety-five percent of the standard for broadcasting and receiving color television signals originated with RCA. Beyond contributing substantially to the development of color television technology, divisions of the company, under the leadership of David Sarnoff, also made the sets and produced programs to fill their screens. http://www.princetoninfo.com/200111/11114c01.html Jan 25 06, 9:43 PM

The real inventor of the color television was Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena (1917-1965), a Mexican national from Guadalajara Jalisco. His project was rejected by the Mexican authorities and had to go to the United States. In 1934 he made his first TV when he was 17 years old, later he patented his color TV in Mexico and the US. From there the invention went to different parts of the world. He invented the first color TX and first TV XEG. He holds the design and pattent to color television systems from 1940, 1942, 1960 and 1962. In 1940 at the age of 22, Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena obtained US Patent #2,296,022 for his Trichromatic system used for color television transmissions. In August 31, 1946 he sent his first color transmition from his lab in the offices of The Mexican League of Radio Experiments in Lucerna St. #1, in Mexico City. The video signal was transmited in 115 MHz. and the audio in a band of 40 meters. RCA claims they did it in 1946 but Camarena's pattent has an earlier month. Also, there are previous attempts or designs http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_invented_the_color_television Sep 22 07, 8:15 AM
