David Paul Gregg

David Paul Gregg

Dr. David Paul Gregg was the inventor of the optical disc (disk). Gregg was inspired to create the optical disc in 1958. He originally had it patented as the "Videodisk" in 1961. In 1968 his patents were purchased by MCA who help develop the technology further. His designs and patents gave way for the Laserdisc, which helped with the creation of the DVD, compact discs, and MiniDisc.
