Who Invented The CD?

The compact disc or CD was introduced in the year 1982. It was originally developed for storing digital audio and digital data.

It all started in the year 1979, when Philips and Sony got together to design a new digital audio disc. The team leaders of this project were Kees Immink and Toshitada Doi. Philps handled the maunfacturing process along with the Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation (EFM), while Sony too care of the error connection method, better known as CIRC. However, Philips claim that this invention was not a one man's job but a collective contribution by members of both the companies who worked together as a  team.

It was considered as a "Big Bang", in the digital audio world. This disc was taken over by nearly all markets across the globe, especially the Europe and the United States consumer market. The first sucessful CD to be launched was Brothers in Arms in 1985.

Actually, Phillips and Sony simply licensed much of their claim from technology that was invented 20 years earlier. Jim Russell, a scientist at Battelle's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA invented the "optical-digital data-storage technology." In the 1960's, Batelle gave Russell a lab to test and develop his ideas, including a far-out system that would use a laser to read digitized music.

While all the original patents belonged to Russell and Battelle, they were sold in the 80's to a company in Canada, who later sued Sony and Phillips over royalties for the the CD technology. Unfortunately, Russell never saw a dime of the settlement. Even Battelle only made a little more than $1 million from the sale of the patents. While a lot at the time, it is nothing compared to the revenue that has been generated by a technology developed by one man in a small lab in the outskirts of Washington State.

While his original idea was for recording music optically, Russell successfully recorded a television soap opera in 1974 using his technology. He still has the recordings to this day, one of the only souvenirs he has of an invention that revolutionized music and movies.

He needs to be credited and recognized for his contribution to a technology that has changed the world. Jim Russell is the inventor of the CD and DVD, Phillips and Sony simply marketed his idea.
