Was an Austrian-born American inventor who held numerous patents.The "Flashmatic" remote control, invented by Eugene Polley, another engineer at Zenith, was the first wireless remote control, replacing the signal cable based remote control devices, which never were a success. The Flashmatic used directional flashlight in the transmitter device, and photo cells in the television set itself. One of the major shortcomings of this technology was that if the television set was exposed to direct sunlight, it could trigger one of the remote control functions inadvertently due to the lack of sufficient protection circuitry, which is why the engineers at Zenith had to go back to the drawing board.
