Abstract

In 1885, German engineer Paul Nipkow patented the idea of capturing and transmitting a picture by dividing it into lines, using a spinning disk with a spiral of perforated holes to scan the lines. The lines were turned into electrical signals, and a receiver then turned the signals back into light. Nipkow never commercialized his “electric telescope,” but decades later, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird took the idea much further. Baird's electromechanical system transmitted images using a spinning Nipkow disk fitted with glass lenses and a photoelectric cell. A companion Nipkow disk in the receiver re-created the lines of the image and projected them onto 26 January 1926, select members of the Royal Institution gathered at Baird's lab in London to witness the transmission of a small but clearly defined image of a ventriloquist dummy's face. The event is often heralded as the first public demonstration of television.

过去向前机械电视
1885 年,德国工程师保罗-尼普考(Paul Nipkow)获得了专利,他利用一个带有螺旋形穿孔的旋转盘来扫描图像,将图像分割成线条,从而捕捉和传输图像。这些线条被转化为电信号,接收器再将电信号转化为光。尼普考从未将他的 "电动望远镜 "商业化,但几十年后,苏格兰发明家约翰-洛吉-贝尔德(John Logie Baird)将这一想法进一步发扬光大。贝尔德的机电系统使用装有玻璃镜片和光电管的旋转尼普考圆盘传输图像。1926 年 1 月 26 日,英国皇家学会的部分成员聚集在贝尔德位于伦敦的实验室,见证了一个口技假人面部小而清晰图像的传输。这一事件被誉为电视的首次公开演示。
