Hollywood had a hand in writing a later chapter in this saga as well. Sony received an Academy Award for the Trinitron some years later. It's kind of ironic, since Hollywood had lined its pockets with the hard-earned money of people in the radio/television industry for decades. It was both a slap in the face and a push down the road to oblivion for a proud and vital segment of our economy.

No, my mistake. it was an Emmy. Read the info at their website:
http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Corpora...tory/2-14.html Quite an honor nonetheless, for hard work and dedication to an ideal. It's a shame few know that RCA had also won the Emmy for the three-gun CRT (1956) and a videotape cartridge design (1974). Remember, it was Americans who prepared the media onslaught, along with government apathy, that delivered the one-two punch ending thousands of manufacturing jobs we still haven't replaced today. Even fewer people know of this amazing (for its time) device: http://www.rcaselectron.com/
