ELECTRONIC
INDUSTRY
What is Electronic Industry?

It is the economic sector that produces electronic equipment and
consumer electronics and manufactures electrical components for
a variety of products.
When did Electronic Industry start?

It began in the early 1800’s with the invention of vacuum tubes. It
was 1835 when the electronic device was invented. The first
invented Electronic device is “the relay", it was invented by Joseph
Henry an American scientist. Rectifiers were developed as early
1915,followed by phototubes in around 1927.By the 1930’s industrial
electronics had developed into a thriving business.
The first materials that was invented
when Electronic Industry started.

It was 1835 when the first working transistor, a point-contact
transistor, was invented by John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain
at Bell Laboratories in 1947,which led to significant research in the
field of solid-state semiconductors during the 1950’s.
