[sci.electronics] Blue LEDS's

The ruckus about blue LED's is understandable. Now we can generate an
R-G-B system with solid-state devices. Has anyone out there done
any experimenting, or have any ideas ? One thing that I see as a potential
problem is the nonlinear optical output, because color generation in an
RGB system is very sensitive to level of each component, not to mention
the color-sensitivity of the eye.

	How 'good' is the blue light ? Green LED's seem to put out a
weak yellow-green color, whereas the red devices have a much richer
output.
