Technically, it was originally made in 1957 in Bell Labs when they were working on solid state diodes. They had reverse biased one and it glowed a blue color. Unfortunately, that discovery was over looked by the Bell scientists. Afterward, it was probably developed sometime in the late 60's as an actual type of indicator lamp.
