thumb Hovhannes (Ivan) Abgari Adamian (5 February 1879, Baku - 12 September 1932, Leningrad) was an Armenian and Soviet engineer, an author of more than 20 inventions. The first experimental color television was shown in London in 1928 based on Adamian's tricolor principle,〔(Adamian in Great Soviet Encyclopedia )〕 and he is recognized as one of the founders of color television.〔(A. Rokhlin, Tak rozhdalos' dal'novidenie (in Russian) )〕 ==Biography== Adamian was born in a family of an Armenian merchant and petrol businessman.〔Russes, slaves et soviétiques : pages d'histoire offertes à Roger Portal, Céline Gervais-Francelle, 1992, p. 387〕 In 1897, he finished his schooling in Baku and moved to Switzerland. He studied at the universities of Zurich and Berlin. He designed systems of black and white, as well as color televisions. Developing theoretical works by other co-founders of color television like M. Le Blanc and P. Nipkov, Adamian was the first in the world to achieve practical results in color television and to carry out color television transfers. The first color television project is claimed by him,〔Western technology and Soviet economic development: 1945 to 1965, by Antony C. Sutton, Business & Economics - 1973, p. 330〕 and was patented in Germany on March 31, 1908, patent № 197183, then in Britain, on April 1, 1908, patent № 7219,〔The History of Television, 1880-1941, by Albert Abramson, 1987, p. 27〕 in France (patent № 390326) and in Russia in 1910 (patent № 17912).〔 In 1925 in Yerevan, Adamian demonstrated "Eristavi", a device for broadcasting color images. Supported by his friends and assistants from Armenia, he succeeded in demonstrating on a screen a number of color figures and patterns transferred from the laboratory next door.〔 In 1913, Adamian returned to Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He had several long-term trips to Armenia before dying in 1932 in Leningrad. He was buried in the local Armenian cemetery and, in 1970, his remains were brought to Yerevan, to the Pantheon of famous Armenians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hovannes Adamian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
