LED-C turns Lite-Brite green with envy

Engadget: "It's getting hard to distinguish all the different LED technologies out there from one another, but Light Beam Industries' so-called LED-C system looks like it may have a shot at standing out from the crowd, with it promising to let you create any color LED you like. Light Beam managed that feat by creating a 'monolithic component' that combines a standard monochromatic or white LED with a 'solid state lighting source' that re-emits the light in the color of your choice."

this sounds so simple that im surprised nobody else has done it already...

im likening this to a VFD motor source, where you send one frequency to the solid-state device they talk about and chemically/quantum-mechanically you can get different colored outputs

this does sound quite expensive though, and it must take quite a lot of precision to duplicate en masse
