http://www.technologyreview.com has an interesting article called "LEDs vs. the Lightbulb." Technology Review is an MIT Enterprise.

Covers:

- Shuji Nakamura - "He made those trailblazing [blue] lasers and their glowing cousins, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), at Tokushima, Japan-based Nichia—and became a sort of national folk hero in the process."

- manufacture and development of LEDs and OLEDs

(The site requires a one-time, free registration)

"As costs fall, efficiency rises, and the quality of the light improves, white LEDs should bust out of these niche applications and displace billions of conventional light fixtures in factories, offices, and homes."

There are links to related articles as well.
