As National Hispanic Heritage Month continues, today we spotlight Guillermo González Camaren who filed the first patent for color television in 1940. At just 23 years old, Gonzalez Camaren patented a chromoscopic adapter with which black and white cameras of the day could capture color. He was born in Guada, Mexico on February 17,1917, the youngest of 7 children. He graduated from the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico with a degree in Electrical Engineering. His invention gained attention when NASA used it aboard the Voyager to take pictures and video of Jupiter. Guillermo Gonzalez Camaren passed away at the age of 48 from injuries sustained in a car accident in Puebla, Mexico on April 18, 1965 on his way back from inspecting a television transmitter.
