The first low-cost junction transistor available to the general public was the CK722, a PNP germanium small signal unit introduced by Raytheon in early 1953 for $7.60 each. In the 1950s and 1960s, hundreds of hobbyist electronics projects based around the CK722 transistor were published in popular books and magazines.
Regency TR-1 transistor radio. The Regency TR-1 was the first commercially manufactured transistor radio, introduced in 1954.Despite mediocre performance, about 150,000 units were sold, due to the novelty of its small size and portability.
A stylized replica of the point-contact transistor invented at Bell Labs on December 23, 1947. The point-contact transistor was the first type of transistor to be successfully demonstrated. It was developed by research scientists John Bardeen and Walter Brattain at Bell Laboratories in December 1947.
The first prototype pocket transistor radio was shown by INTERMETALL, a company founded by Herbert Mataré in 1952, at the Internationale Funkausstellung Düsseldorf from August 29 to September 6, 1953. [37] [38] The first production-model pocket transistor radio was the Regency TR-1, released in October 1954. [25]
Radio Wallah Historical data accompanied by hundreds of images covering early transistor radios. Web site about the first transistor radio by Dr. Steven Reyer, a professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the Milwaukee School of Engineering.Category: Transistor
This made Sony the first company to produce commercial transistor radios from the ground up. American company Regency had launched their Regency TR-1 transistor radio earlier in 1954, but bought the transistors from Texas Instruments. Printed circuit boards were used, which was unusual for the time. [6] [8] [3]
Step aside, graphene, "silicene" is the trendy new nano-material in town that could one day supercharge future tech. Scientists have created the world's first transistor out of the silicon-based ...
A stylized replica of the first transistor John Bardeen, William Shockley and Walter Brattain at Bell Labs, 1948. According to theories of the time, Shockley's field effect transistor, a cylinder coated thinly with silicon and mounted close to a metal plate, should have worked. He ordered Brattain and Bardeen to find out why it wouldn't.
