Philo Taylor Farnsworth was an American inventor and television pioneer known for his critical contributions to electronic television. In 1927, he invented the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device, the image dissector, and created the first complete all-electronic television system. Farnsworth later founded the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation, where he commercially produced television systems. In addition to his work in television, he also invented the Farnsworth Fusor, a small nuclear fusion device that inspired other fusion approaches. Farnsworth held 300 patents, primarily in radio and television technologies.
