Can anyone recommend a vendor for a tri-state LED.  If possible,
I would prefer one with three separate diode leads and a common 
anode (or cathode) in a single package with a single lens.  
The three colors should be red, blue, and green.

Schematically, it should resemble the following:


		
		|	|	|
		|	|	|
	        --	--	--
		/\	/\	/\
	       /__\    /__\    /__\
		|	|	|
		|	|	|
		-----------------
			|
			|


I know that two color LEDs are available, but they usually require that
the voltage across the diode be reversed to get the other color.

Is something like this available anywhere??

Thanks...
