    About this ebook

    A revolution is underway, and it’s changing the way we illuminate the world. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are replacing conventional forms of lighting in everything from cars to billboards and from streetlights to desk lamps. Leading this lighting revolution was Nick Holonyak, Jr. who, in 1962, invented the world’s first practical LED. This book explains how it all came to be.
