Baird's principles of television
Baird's principles of television, developed by Scottish inventor John Logie Baird in the 1920s, center on capturing, transmitting, and reproducing images. He demonstrated that light could be split into electrical signals and then reconverted into visible images on a screen. Baird's work involved mechanical methods, where spinning discs modulated light to create images. His early telecasts showed that it was possible to send moving pictures over the air, laying the groundwork for modern television technology. Baird's innovations helped lead to the development of more sophisticated electronic television systems that we use today.
