    The beginnings of mechanical television can be traced back to the discovery of the photoconductivity of the element selenium by willoughby smith in 1873. As electronic camera and display tubes were perfected, electromechanical television gave way to all-electronic broadcast television systems in nearly all applications. As a 23-year-old German university student, Paul Nipkow proposed and patented the first electromechanical television system in 1884.
