In the history of technology, Kálmán Tihanyi is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Kálmán Tihanyi as Hungarian engineer (1897–1947).
Kálmán Tihanyi was born at Zbehy in 1897. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He was educated at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
Kálmán Tihanyi is described as physicist, electrical engineer and inventor.
Kálmán Tihanyi is associated first and foremost with invention of the first infrared video camera in 1929, and coined the first flat panel plasma display in 1936. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
That the work was done from Hungary matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Death came in 1947, at 50. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
