   The invention of the blue LED, one of the most difficult and important inventions ever – which allowed the white LED – is some of the craziest Chad shit I have ever heard about anything. This guy is pinnacle determination holy crap.

     Steamboat Willy has an answer to this issue. Especially how the company treated the inventor 🤨

     @SwiftOnSecurity yeah, it was a major breakthrough and it's a big deal.

     the next frontier is solving the green gap problem. right now we don't have efficient semiconductors that have a bandgap with a wavelength in the range between green-yellow and red-amber.

     if we can find one, we can stop building white lights that have such a strong blue peak, and make very high efficiency white lights that run the full gamut of the Planckian locus.

     @gsuberland @SwiftOnSecurity I picked up the habit of wearing a diffraction grating in my glasses from someone on here years ago and it makes the green gap extremely obvious.
