THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION
The history of television comprises the work of numerous engineers and inventors in
several countries over many decades. The first practical demonstrations of television, however,
were developed using electromechanical methods to scan, transmit, and reproduce an image. As
electronic camera and display tubes were perfected, electromechanical television gave way to
allelectronic systems in nearly all applications.
The beginnings of mechanical television can be traced back to the discovery of the
photoconductivity of the element selenium by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the invention of a
scanning disk by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884 and John Logie Baird's demonstration of televised
moving images in 1926.
As a 23-year-old German university student, Nipkow proposed and patented the first
electromechanical television system in 1884.[1] Although he never built a working model of the
system, variations of Nipkow's spinning-disk "image rasterizer" for television became exceedingly
common, and remained in use until 1939. Constantin Perskyi had coined the word television in a
paper read to the International Electricity Congress at the International World Fair in Paris on
August 25, 1900. Perskyi's paper reviewed the existing electromechanical technologies,
mentioning the work of Nipkow and others However, it was not until 1907 that developments in
amplification tube technology, byLee de Forest and Arthur Korn among others, made the design
practical.

In 1911, Boris Rosing and his student Vladimir Zworykin created a television system that used a
mechanical mirror-drum scanner to transmit, in Zworykin's words, "very crude images" over wires
to the "Braun tube" (cathode ray tube or "CRT") in the receiver. Moving images were not possible
because, in the scanner, "the sensitivity was not enough and the selenium cell was very leggy".
On March 25, 1925, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration
of televised silhouette images in motion, at Selfridge's Department Store in London. AT&T's Bell
Telephone Laboratories transmitted halftone still images of transparencies in May 1925. On June
13 of that year, Charles Francis Jenkins transmitted the silhouette image of a toy windmill in
motion, over a distance of five miles from a naval radio station in Maryland to his laboratory in
Washington, D.C., using a lensed disk scanner with a 48-line resolution.

MNCs fighting for a chunk of the indoor consumer electronics market.
Sony had realistic targets from the start with the founder of “Tukoji Hayakawa” was awarded a
patent for the “Tukobijo” The company which clocked a turnover of Rs 50 Yen with a capital just
began with three employees.
In the year of 1935 the structure of the company was modified to become a joint stock corporation
under the name Hayakawa metal works institute co with a capitalization of 300,000Yen.In the year
of l2006, the structure of the company was noised due to his lack of funds by investing and hope
to notch up this figure of 204,675 million.

Corporate identity comes into being when there is a common ownership of an
organizational philosophy, which is manifest in a distinct corporate personality. At its most
profound, the public feel that they, have ownership of the philosophy, (Bellmen 1995).
In general, this amounts to a logo (logotype and fen logogram) supporting, devices
commonly assembled within a set of guidelines.

SONY TV Advantages and Disadvantages
• The LCD is currently the display of choice in small devices and is also popular in
largescreen TVs. Regular LEDs often form the digits on digital clocks and other
electronic devices. SONY TV s offers many advantages over both LCDs and LEDs:
• The plastic, organic layers of a SONY TV are thinner, lighter and more flexible than
the crystalline layers in an LED or LCD.
• Because the light-emitting layers of a SONY TV are lighter, the substrate of an SONY
TV can be flexible instead of rigid. SONY TV substrates can be plastic rather than the
glass used for LEDs and LCDs.
• SONY TV s are brighter than LEDs. Because the organic layers of an SONY TV are
much thinner than the corresponding inorganic crystal layers of an LED, the conductive
and emissive layers of an SONY TV can be multi-layered. Also, LEDs and LCDs require
glass for support, and glass absorbs some light. SONY TV s do not require glass.
• SONY TV s have large fields of view, about 170 degrees. Because LCDs work by
blocking light, they have an inherent viewing obstacle from certain angles. SONY TV s
produce their own light, so they have a much wider viewing range.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research refers to search for knowledge. It is an art of the scientific investigation. Research
comprises definite problem. The research design ascetically states the procedures of data collection
and analysis of information relevant to the problem.
Data collection
Primary data
The primary data is collected through questionnaires, which form the major part of the project.
Secondary data
The secondary data is readily available from the Dealer’s, news magazines. Data like company
profile and organization procedures are obtained from the office.
Consumers are often reluctant to take the time to respond to survey. For this reasoner
searchers have found the questionnaires which may be interesting, unambiguous, easy to
complete and generally non-burdensome in order to motivate respondents to answer truthfully
and completely.
Research Instruments
Marketing researchers have a choice of two main research instruments in collecting primary
data from “questionnaires”.
12
Questionnaires
This part is being explained briefly in the following theories of approach they are “SAMPLING
PLAN” after deciding on the research approach and the instruments. The marketing researchers
must design a sampling plan. This plan comprises of three parts
1. Sample Size
2. Sample Unit
3. Sample Procedure
Sampling
An integral component of research design is the sampling plan. Specifically, it addresses three
questions. Whom to survey (The sampling unit), How many to survey (sampling size), and
how to select them (The sampling procedure).
Sampling Unit
The sampling units for the study consisted of respondents from all walks of life, either gender,
different age groups, different income group and so on, but all residents of COIMBATORE
CITY.
Sampling Size
Considering the nature and extent of the study and with the time constraints, a sample size of
100 consumers was chosen.
Sampling Procedure
Simple random sampling method has been adopted for the study. In random sampling each
element of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample.

CONCLUSION
It was evident from the research study that the company enjoys leadership in Sony
Television segment market. Even though having formidable competition like BPL, Samsung,
Videocon, Onida, the company has grown consistently grown over the years. Like consumer
goods, the television users or the customers gave importance at the point of purchase quality and
long life of the television was of almost importance.
Considering the core strength of the company there is a tremendous growth opportunity for the
brand Sony in the television segment. The industry as a whole is growing and is expected to grow
at a faster rate in the future. Hence the company needs to be abreast with market changes and
emerging new opportunities. Therefore, whenever need is felt company must undertake market to
