Television is recognized as "one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century", and it has evolved into its present form through various researches and experiments by many people. There is no word "TV" in Chinese or English. The English name of TV is TV, which means you can see distant scenes. After the successful invention of television, scientists combined tele, which originated from ancient Greek, with Vision, which stands for "vision" in English, to become the name of today.
Second, the mechanical television
1883 Russian-born German scientist Nikolai Pukov made the first experiment of emitting images by mechanical scanning with his invented Nikolai Pukov disk. Each picture has 24 lines, but the image is quite blurred. The following year, 1884, put forward and applied for the world's first patent of mechanical television system.
1897 cathode ray tube
Third, black and white television.
1926 The world's first black-and-white TV set was invented by British scientist john baird; 1in the spring of 939, he developed a color TV set. Therefore, it is called "the father of television".
LOEWE modernist design
Outstanding functionalism characteristics. Emphasize that function is the center and purpose of design, rather than taking form as the starting point of design, pay attention to the scientificity of design, and attach importance to the scientificity, convenience, economy and efficiency of design implementation. Non-decorative simple geometric modeling, abandoning decoration, using neutral color, reducing costs and serving the public.
The serious tendency of simplification and the pursuit of the design concept of "function first, form second" make the production of products standardized and mass-produced, improve production efficiency and promote the development of productivity.

The streamlined style, which was popular in the 1960s and 1930s, originated in the United States with a strong commercial atmosphere, and had a great impact on the modernism known as "lofty".
Simplification is essentially an external "pattern design". It reflects the attitude of Americans towards design between the two world wars, that is, the appearance of products is an important means to promote sales. In order to achieve this goal, we must find a style that caters to the public interest, and streamline came into being.
The fierce business competition during the Great Depression pushed the simple style to * * *. First of all, its charm lies in that it is a sign of the future, which brought a kind of hope and relief to people during the Great Depression in the 1930s.
So the emotional value of streamline exceeds its functional quality.
In art, streamline comes down in one continuous line with futurism and symbolism. It praises concepts such as "speed", which embodies the spirit of the industrial age with symbolic expressions. Its popularity also has technical and material reasons.
1939 decorative arts
Decorative art evolved from the Art Nouveau movement at the end of 19. Art Nouveau Movement is an organic line for the bourgeoisie to pursue sensibility (such as flowers and animal modeling) and different cultural forms (such as oriental calligraphy and handicrafts). Decorative art combines the mechanical aesthetics produced in industrial culture, and is expressed by mechanical, geometric and pure decorative lines, such as fan-shaped radiant sunlight, gear or streamlined lines, symmetrical and concise geometric composition, etc. , and painted with bright contrast colors, such as bright red, scary pink, blue of electrical appliances, yellow of alarm, orange of tango, and gold with metallic taste.
At the same time, with the outward expansion of European and American imperial capitalism, objects or totems of ancient cultures such as the Far East, the Middle East, Greece, Rome, Egypt and Maya have also become the source of decorative materials, such as funerary objects of ancient Egyptian tombs, African wood carvings, classical columns of Greek architecture and so on.
1950 - 1959
The single design art form, the simple pursuit of rationality and the neglect of consumers' psychological needs lead to the sameness of product forms.
1954, American RCA company manufactured the world's first all-transistor TV RCA CT- 100. The price at that time was $65,438+0,000. Because color picture tubes are very expensive, every TV in RCA is a loss-making business. But when the new generation of products went on the market in batches, they made twice the profit in a short time.
The appearance is the same as ART DECO's retro style.
1960 - 1970
After more than ten years of post-war recovery and development, by the 1960s, the economies of the world's major capitalist countries had experienced unprecedented prosperity. On the one hand, this prosperity is manifested in the substantial growth of social goods and the relative surplus of industrial products; On the other hand, due to the development of science and technology, the upgrading speed of products based on new materials and technologies is accelerated.
1960s coincided with the "Cold War" period. The two camps, represented by the United States and the Soviet Union, developed their economies, strengthened their strength and engaged in an arms race. Due to competition, science and technology developed rapidly during this period. From the early 1960s to the early 1970s, with the arrival and development of the third scientific and technological revolution in the world, advanced countries set up science parks one after another and made great progress in their respective high-tech research fields. In 1960s and 1970s, with the development of social economy, modernist design became more and more incompatible with the times and people's aesthetic concepts. However, the new design form and style have not yet been formally formed and are in the exploration stage. Generally speaking, the design of these 20 years is a confused period of modernist design and an exploration period of anti-modernist design.
With the change of design concept and style, it is reflected in the following aspects:
(1)196112 In April, the former Soviet "Oriental" spacecraft entered space; 1July, 969 16, three Americans took off in the "Apollo 1 1" spaceship and started the biggest adventure in the world. On July 20th, they successfully landed on the moon. This success announced the arrival of the era of the universe, which led to the prevalence of the "cosmic wind" with silver gray color and imitating the shape of spacecraft.
In 1960s, brightly colored and easily molded plastics were widely used in industrial products, forming the "plastic age" of product design.
At the same time, a variety of high-strength, light-weight, high-toughness and colorful composite materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene and glass fiber have been successfully developed, which soon replaced traditional materials such as wood and steel and became the main materials for furniture, household appliances, office supplies and automobiles.
During this period, new technologies such as molding and one-step molding were widely adopted, which made a large number of practical and popular product designs emerge one after another, such as the rapid update of furniture design.

1980, post-90 design
After the manufacturing technology reaches a level and is popularized, in addition to the function of the product, consumers are more interested in the feeling when using it, the function that the product can provide across functions, the interest and ingenuity that the product brings to our lives, and sometimes the dream of people's living situation is framed. Due to the development of materials science and electronic technology, more and more old and new things tend to be "light and short".
In the mid-1980s, TV mainly considered "practical" design. The TV set has fallen from luxury to cheapness, and the design has not made much breakthrough and progress. 1973 The oil crisis broke out, which made the cost of plasticizing related products (including plastics) rise rapidly, leading to a major crisis in plastic furniture, and it was impossible to produce low-priced plastic furniture products. Compared with the plastic casing in the 1960s and 1970s, the appearance of TV has changed greatly.
"High-tech style": I like to express the "mechanical beauty", "contemporary beauty" and "precise beauty" in the high-tech era with the latest materials, especially steel, hard aluminum or alloy materials.
"Minimalist style": the pursuit of extremely simple design, a style that cannot be less. Is this style influenced by Mises? Van der Rohe's "less is more" thought and its influence have been developed. This style of industrial products, especially furniture, has the characteristics of simple structure and stiff surface treatment.
Sony has launched a brand-new industrial style,1a brand-new silver-carbon color sleeve launched in the 1980s, and the interface has started to use metal materials, changing the previous wooden style.
