Abstract
The semiconductor industry can look forward to an attractive market in the television field with a potential of 120 million devices per year, based on 1961 TV sales figures. Price and performance are the determining factors in the choice of the transistor over the vacuum tube. In many applications of present technology, transistors are superior in performance; however, costs must necessarily be reduced for the final conversion.
