OT-Thanks, Katherine. Very basic question about colored LEDs: Why is this breakthrough so important for illumination? If you have a bright white LED, can't you simply tint the coating any color you want? Is there any way to tune your choice of colors from an in situ LED array? On Nichia, I couldn't pick up a stock symbol. Are you sure it's publicly traded? As far as the big picture goes, from what you know of the LED illumination and display market, will this app cause a significant volume ramp for LEDs? Is there sufficient commoditization in LEDs yet that we have basic spot prices for standardized product, as we have in DRAM for example? Can you point me to sources for general statistics such as estimates of overall LED market size, segmentation for different uses, market share, etc? TIA, Sam
