Large-screen television (1930-1935)
Although Alexanderson's early ideas on large-screen projection television using multiple light sources were abandoned, GE continued throughout the late 1920s to be active in the field of theatre television. The company was not alone in pursuing this objective. During the late 1920s and the 1930s, several influential organisations engaged in the development of large-screen equipment, including Baird Television Ltd., Electric and Musical Industries Ltd. and Scophony Ltd. in the UK; Fernseh AG and Karolus-Telefunken in Germany; and de Forest, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and General Radio in the USA. There seemed to be a view that cinema television was an essential application of the new media form.
