Allen Balcom DuMont, also spelled Du Mont, (January 29, 1901 – November 14, 1965) was an American electronics engineer, scientist and inventor best known for improvements to the cathode ray tube in 1931 for use in television receivers. Seven years later he manufactured and sold the first commercially practical television set to the public. In June 1938, his Model 180 television receiver was the first all-electronic television set ever sold to the public, a few months prior to RCA's first set in April 1939. In 1946, DuMont founded the first television network to be licensed, the DuMont Television Network, initially by linking station WABD (named for DuMont; it later became WNEW and is now WNYW) in New York City to station W3XWT, which later became WTTG, in Washington, D.C.

I 1931 shaothraigh sé an feadán ga-chatóideach, a d'úsáidfí i luascóip gha-chatóideacha is teilifíseáin. Cheap sé an tsúil draíochta freisin, a d'úsáidtí le fada mar tháscaire chun raidió a thiúnadh.

  • Allen B. DuMont (* 29. Januar 1901 in Brooklyn; † 14. November 1965, beerdigt in Montclair, New Jersey) war ein US-amerikanischer Elektrotechniker. Nachdem er 1924 am Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, graduiert hatte, begann er bei der Westinghouse Lamp Company in Bloomfield, New Jersey, wo er die Produktion von Radioröhren um das hundertfache steigerte, und dafür den ersten Westinghouse Award erhielt. 1928 wurde er von Lee De Forest engagiert, wo er mit mechanischem Fernsehen von Charles Francis Jenkins kennenlernte. Da Forsest seine Verbesserungen nicht unterstützte, gründete er 1931 in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, die DuMont Laboratories um seine Kathodenstrahlröhren (CRT) zu bauen. (de)
  • Allen Balcom DuMont, parfois écrit Du Mont (29 janvier 1901 – 14 novembre 1965) est un chercheur, ingénieur et inventeur américain passé à la postérité pour les améliorations décisives qu'il a apportées au tube cathodique et ses applications à la télévision (1931). Sept ans plus tard il commercialisa le premier téléviseur grand public. Au mois de juin 1938, son poste de télévision Model 180 fut le premier téléviseur commercial entièrement électronique, précédant de quelques mois le téléviseur RCA (avril 1939). En 1946, DuMont a créé la première chaîne de télévision officielle, DuMont Television Network, en câblant les émetteurs WABD (initiales de DuMont) à New York à ceux de W3XWT, la future station , à Washington, D.C.
