The life and times of the LED - a 100-year history
Abstract
Many people believe that the LED was discovered by US researchers working in the 1960s. In fact, Henry Round at Marconi Labs noted the emission of light from a semiconductor diode 100 years ago and, independently, a forgotten Russian genius - Oleg Losev - discovered the LED.
