On July 25, 1907, Russian physicist Boris Rosing filed a patent application for the “Method of Electrically Transmitting Images Over a Distance,” that is, television. Boris Rosing, the founder of the North Caucasus Polytechnic Institute (now Kuban State Technological University) in the city of Ekaterinodar, was a Russian physicist, scientist, and educator, the author of the first television experiments for which the Russian Technical Society awarded him the gold medal and the Karl Siemens Prize in 1912. He created over 120 schemes and systems of television devices. On July 25, 1907, Russian scientist Boris Rosing filed a patent application for the invention “Method of Electrically Transmitting Images Over a Distance.” Based on this application, he was granted patent No. 18076 on October 30, 1910. In 1908 and 1909, the discovery of the new method of image reception in television was confirmed by patents issued in England and Germany. In 1911, the television device improved by Boris Rosing was patented in Russia, England, Germany, and the USA. In May 1911, Rosing managed in his laboratory to receive images of simple figures with the kinescope he constructed. The image of a grid placed in front of the transmitter’s lens and illuminated by passing light was transmitted. This was the first television transmission in the world, marking the beginning of the television era.
