Fritz Fischer studied electrical engineering at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zurich from 1917 till 1921.
Working at the Telephonwerke Albisrieden he improved the transmission quality of speech, whereupon he was called to the central laboratories of the mother company Siemens & Halske in Berlin. There he built the first remotely controlled ships and airplanes and investigated the physical properties of colour film. He was lecturer at the Technical University of Berlin.
1932 he received a call to the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zurich, where he became professor and founded the Institute for Technical Physics.
He developed and patented the Eidophor technique of displaying television pictures the size of cinema screens. Doctor Edgar Gretener, his chief assistant at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule , was project leader for the development of Eidophor.
Professor Fritz Fischer was one of the important technical scientists of his day.
