Shuji's Light Show-The Movies!

The MRS Internet Journal of Nitride Semiconductor Research is proud to bring you its first QuickTime movies! Well actually we're sort of embarrassed, because the movies are tiny and dark. But we promised to exploit the unique possibilities of the Internet, so here they are.

You should have a QuickTime Viewer or Plug-In installed to see the movies, and it's not advisable to download the movies if you have a slow internet connection. And if the colors don't show up too well on your gray scale monitor, you might want to check that your winsock is properly seated in your hard disk brake shoe.

QuickTime viewers are available here.

Blue Laser Burns a Hole in Jim Harris' Shirt

In this movie, you'll see Jim Harris' shirt fluoresce violet as Shuji Nakamura points his nitride laser at a piece of paper, and misses. The quality of the video is not enhanced by the fact that the room lights were turned off. Just kidding about burning the hole.

Full Color LED Display Makes Times Square Look Pale

In this movie, you'll laugh as Shuji Nakamura shows his scrolling full-color LED display upside down for several seconds until somebody notices.

Thank you to the Stanford Instructional Network for sharing the video with us.
