content: Sample blue light emitting diode made by Shuji Nakamura in 1993. Clear plastic housing contains gallium nitride LED; two leads emerge from the bottom. Dr. Nakamura sent a hand-drawn schematic of the device with the LED that indicates polarity. One lead appears to be slightly shorter than the other - that's the negative lead.
