@cleoabram: These super common LED lightbulbs almost didn’t exist… You need 3 colors to make white light. But one was missing. Why? It has do to with how the electrons “dance”... #LEDs #technology #light #discovery #animation

Ryan :

that one blue led edit💀

Nick :

It's incredible how huge that invention actually was, without the blue LED, we wouldn't have smartphones, flat screen TVs, or energy efficient lighting.

Tony :

all of that to ruin the warmy christmas glow and turn everything into a depressing neon mess

Pinl101 :

Veritasium (YouTube) made a great video on how Shuji Nakamura managed to do it!

josejrramon :

CAN WE SAY WHO IS THE PERSON BEHIND IT : SHUGI NAKAMORA 💐

RootRevolution :

Even white light flashlights don't use blue. Christmas lights could have used phosphor too

shebby :

I always thought it was just colored glass

Doctor NOS :

Whoa

Paz Pate :

Does that mean the cost to run them are different? Red vs blue?

mob :

teaching me better than my chem teacher after the semester ends 💔

Henrique༄˖°.🌱.ೃ࿔*:･ :

is that why led Christmas lights always look so blue compared to Incadescent?

Tommy Spall :

Your science content is always so good!! I always wondered about this, since growing up I didn't see any blue lights.

chadpost410 :

So cool. Now it's everywhere. What's next? Brighter bio luminescent lights?

Arthur with an knife :

blue LEDs:

ALPHA :

thanks to Shugi Nakamora.

JACKISA JOHN :

Amazing

~Robin :

You've taught me more than all my teachers have. Feel honoured:)

L :

can we make purple leds without combining blue and yellow??

razali_zalie :

but I like old neon bulb, not irritated eye

☠️JΛKΣ☠️ :

Incandescent christmas lights will always be better in my opinion

udz :

What's this then

Mr_okay :

those energy gaps do they have a relationship with knowing the energy gap between vacuum and the first excited state

Lazy :

So you can create the color white?
