Will

thanks for the info and especially the HWP link.
Prices per million! How many does it take to make
one signal light?

My reference to the blue diode was partly in jest, but I do remember the big fuss a while back when it was achieved
[im China ?]

SIDT is suggesting the use of FET or Diamond
sources for displays and along with SONY will
be holding a meeting sometime this month. Sooner
or later the FPD will have to replace the CRT, and
the more efficient LEDs provide our illumination
at great savings. Hopefully in my lifetime but
then I am an old optimist!

regards

Will

>>I believe the big push to develop a blue LED was just so that, in combination with red and green, a three-color LED system could be built that would cover the complete color spectrum by additive color.<<

That and the shorter wavelength light can read denser data structures. The development of GaN was a pretty interesting story. There are some links here:
