This contrasts with modern television technology, which uses electronic scanning methods, for example electron beams in cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions, and liquid-crystal displays (LCD), to create and display the picture.Mechanical-scanning methods were used in the earliest television systems in the 1920s and 1930s. By 1927 many radio stations were broadcasting experimental television programs using mechanical systems. However the technology never produced images of sufficient quality to become popular with the public. Mechanical-scan systems were largely superseded by electronic-scan technology in the late 1930s, which was used in the first commercially successful television broadcasts which began in the late 1940s.A mechanical television receiver is also called a televisor in some countries."@en }
