Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow (22 August 1860 – 24 August 1940) was a German technician and inventor. He invented the Nipkow disk, which laid the foundation of television, since his disk was a fundamental component in the first televisions.[1] Hundreds of stations experimented with television broadcasting using his disk in the 1920s and 1930s, until it was superseded by all-electronic systems in the 1940s.
Nipkow has been called the "father of television",[2][3] together with other early figures of television history like Karl Ferdinand Braun.
The first regular television service in the world, Fernsehsender Paul Nipkow, was named in his honour.[4]
