The vacuum tube worked but it was bulky and used a lot of electrical power that ended up as heat which shortened the life of the tube itself.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 The transistor was a much more elegant solution to the needs of electronics. The transistor is small and uses much, much less power than the vacuum tube.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 The transistor was successfully demonstrated on December 23, 1947 at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 The three individuals credited with the invention of the transistor were William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 Texas Instruments of Dallas, Texas first started commercial production of junction transistors for portable radios in 1954.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 The Sony Company of Japan soon acquired the right to produce transistors and came to dominate the market.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 In the 1960&#8217;s Sony began to manufacture television sets using transistors rather than vacuum tubes.
