- The Personal Computer Monitor
The birth of what we know of today as the computer monitor dates back to 1897 when the German physicist Ferdinand Braun created the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) .
However, it wasn't until 1907 some 10 years after the invention of the CRT that Vladimir Zworykin , a Russian scientist and inventor made improvements to CRT making it possible for them to be used as televisions. Credit should also be given to Philo Taylor Farnsworth and his contribution to making the commercial CRT or television a reality.

CRT display technology continued to evolved particularly, after Allen B. Dumont revolutionized the lifespan of CRTs . Below is a chronology of CRT technology until the transition to Liquid Crystal Display.
Evolution of Display Technologies
Friedrich Reinitzer 1897
1897 - German
1969 - RCA made the world's first Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). However, it was until the 70's that LCD technology was used in electronic calculators. Then in 1996 3Com used LCD display technology in the Palm Pilot handheld.
1981 - IBM CGA - IBM is credited with introducing the first personal computer which was also known at the time as the "three-piece computer" since the monitor, keyboard and CPU were separate pieces. Soon after enhanced the number of colors that a monitor could display to four with the introduction of the Color Graphic Adapter (CGA). A CGA monitor allowed for 320 x 300 resolution.
