I am not sure if this is offtopic or not, if so, mods please remove. I have recently come into possession of a small quantity of Monsanto MV1 LEDs... the MV1 is the first commercially produced LED, released in 1968.
"insanely expensive" YES! That is true of any and all new
technologies that I can think of. It wasn't that long ago that
small flat screen, hang on the wall, televisions were several
thousands of dollars. Now they are available NIB for under three
hundred bucks. The really large sets keep coming down in price as
well. And the quality keeps getting better as well. Ira

Is there a datasheet for this LED? I am really interested in the current draw. (The voltage is fixed, more or less, by the wavelength. So the current will tell us something about the efficiency.) Jens

With that kind of terrible efficiency, and the horrendous cost,
what exactly did engineers see in these things, at that time??
