The first diode was the Galena Cats Whisker. It was invented shortly after the development of radio, but I'm not sure by who.

Fleming's vacuum tube diode came shortly afterwards.

What was the first diode discovered referred to as?

The first diode discovered is referred to as the "vacuum tube diode," or simply the "diode." It was invented by John Ambrose Fleming in 1904 and consists of a heated cathode and an anode in a vacuum, allowing current to flow in one direction. This invention laid the groundwork for the development of modern electronics.

Who invented liquid crystal diode?

The term "liquid crystal diode" was invented by patent lawyers in late 1970's for the emerging liquid crystal display technology to rhyme with the then dominant light emitting diode display technology. The term is misleading as the liquid crystal cell is not a diode in the ordinary meaning of the word. Since then the incorrect term has been adopted to patents (over 600 patents describing liquid crystal cells as diodes) and scientific literature in addition to its misuse in lay-articles in internet.
