Maurice Leblanc (1857 – 1923) was a French engineer and industrialist.

Born in Paris, Leblanc worked primarily in improving induction motors and alternators. He also invented an improved vacuum pump and worked in the area of refrigeration.

The December 1, 1880 French publication "La Lumière électrique", published an article by Leblanc entitles "Etude sur la transmission électrique des impressions lumineuses". In this article Leblanc outlined five functions required for a television system.

  • a scanner to break up a picture into its constituent parts
  • a method of synchronising the receiver and the transmitter
  • a means of converting electrical signals back into light
