Timeline of United States inventions (1946–91) of the United States Geological Survey. 1960 Gas laser A gas laser is a laser in which an electric current is discharged through a gas to produce light. The first gas laser, the Helium-neon, was invented by William R. Bennett, Don Herriott, and Ali Javan in 1960. The first continuous visible gas laser, operating at 632.8 nm in the red, was invented by A. D. White and J. D. Rigden in 1962. 1961 Spreadsheet (electronic) 1961 Wearable computer 1961 Frozen carbonated beverage 1961 Biofeedback 1962 Communications satellite 1962 Chimney starter 1962 Light-emitting diode A light-emitting-diode (LED) is a semiconductor diode
LED filament LED filament An LED filament light bulb is an LED lamp which is designed to resemble a traditional incandescent light bulb with visible filaments, for aesthetic and light distribution purposes. It produces its light by LED filaments, multi-diode structures that resemble the filament of an incandescent light bulb. They are designed as drop-in replacements for conventional clear incandescent bulbs used in decorative light fixtures, such as table lamps, pendant lights, chandeliers, and bulb-based candelabras. They have the appearance of traditional incandescent bulbs but the higher efficiency of light emitting diodes (LEDs). A LED filament type design light bulb was produced
