Also, Nichia was the first company on earth to make a working gallium nitride violet/blue laser diode, as well as the world's first gallium nitride high power blue LED, and gallium nitride high power green LED. Any blue, green, or white LEDs you've ever used and all violet laser diodes currently in use today owe homage to Nichia (particularly Shuji Nakamura).
