Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED
Veritasium
A semiconductor material with a band gap theoretically in the blue light range. It was initially abandoned by many due to difficulties in growing high-quality crystals, creating p-type material, and achieving sufficient light output, but ultimately became the material for the blue LED.
