  Vladimir Zworykin Encyclopedia
Zworykin was born in Murom, Russia, in 1889, perhaps on July 30, to the family of a prosperous merchant.
Although, as we know, Zworykin described cathode ray tubes as both transmitter and receiver, the operation, whose basic thrust was to prevent the emission of electrons between scansion cycles--a solution reminiscent of A.A. Campbell Swinton's proposal, published in Nature in December 1911.
The breakthrough would come when the Zworykin team decided to develop a new type of cathode ray transmitter, one described in the French and British patents of 1928 priority by the Hungarian inventor Kalman Tihanyi whom the company had approached in July 1930, after the publication of his patents in England and France.

Zworykin stated, "The fate of television now rests in the laps of the financial and merchandising experts." David Sarnoff was on his way to realize his dream of putting a television in every home, but people were still going to have to wait for awhile.

 Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, 1889-1982
Although most biographies maintain that Zworykin graduated in 1912 and thereafter studied X-rays under Professor Langevin in Paris, Zworykin gives the dates of having studied with Rosing as between 1910 and 1914.
The demonstration given by Zworykin sometime in late 1925 (not in 1923, as popular accounts would have it) was far from a success with the Westinghouse management, even though it showed the possibilities inherent in a system based on the Braun tube.
The breakthrough would come when the Zworykin team decided to develop a new type of cathode ray pickup tube, one described in French and British patents of 1928 priority by Hungarian inventor, Kalman Tihanyi, whom the company approached in July 1930, after the publication of his patents in England and France.

The iconoscope tube uses an electron beam to scan the charge pattern on a signal plate, which corresponds to the pattern of light and dark of an image focused on it by a lens.
Zworykin's inventions also included an early form of electric eye and an electronic image tube sensitive to infrared light, which was the basis for World War II inventions for seeing in the dark.

 Inventor of the Week: Archive
One of the foremost figures in the complex history of television is Vladimir Zworykin, who invented the "iconoscope," "kinemascope," and "storage principle" that became the basis of TV as we know it.
Zworykin made his way to Paris (1912), where he did work in x-rays and theoretical physics before emigrating to the US (1919).
Zworykin continued his television work on his own time, and produced both the "kinescope," a more sophisticated cathode-ray picture tube, and the "iconoscope," the first all-electronic camera tube.

For his fundamental and crucial work in creating the iconoscope and the kinescope, inventor Vladimir Zworykin is often described as "the father of television".
At the Petersburg Institute of Technology, Zworykin studied electrical engineering with Boris Rosing, who believed cathode ray tubes would be useful in television's development because they could shoot a steady stream of charged particles.
Zworykin received numerous awards related to these inventions, especially television.
