LED lover writes "The discovery of the LED is usually credited to four US groups in 1962, but an unrecognized Russian genius got there forty years before. Oleg Losev even filed a patent on using his device for long range communications, and wrote to Einstein to ask for help with the theory — but got no reply."http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?i=TvnDpe</img> (http://rss.slashdot.org/~a/Slashdot/slashdot?a=TvnDpe)
