Albert Rose (30 March 1910 – 26 July 1990) was an American physicist, who made major contributions to TV video camera tubes such as the orthicon, image orthicon, and vidicon.[1][2]

According to the New York Times, Albert Rose is credited as the father of the orthicon television camera tube, which was developed during World War II, and then later was an integral part of all early television broadcasts.[1]
