I haven't asked this for a long time nor in this forum, so maybe I'll discover something new this time.
Has anyone ever heard of or seen bicolor LEDs which are red/blue instead of the traditional red/green? I'm one of the many millions of males who are colorblind and I have a really hard time telling the red and green apart in traditional bicolor LEDs. Now, modern GaN LEDs are *green* and high brightness reds are *red*, but the dies they use in your normal cheap bicolors are the ancient orangey-red and yellowish-green, not the modern ones.
If they used modern dies, I think I could easily tell the colors apart, but I would like it a great deal more if it were as obvious as blue and red would make it.
Anyone heard of anything like this? Why are poor bicolor LEDs stuck in the dark ages? (pun intended) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
