Blue glow did you say? Try a Blue LED. ... Don't laugh, it's a REAL product
looking for a market. Needs about 3.5V across it. It's made from silicon
nitride, and is available in small quantities. They're more a curiousity
than anything else, as no one has come upon a good reason for needing a
Blue LED. The company that makes them (silicon nitride is really tough
stuff; hard to work with) is Japanese.. Masushita (sp?), if I'm remembering
the name correctly.
