There are only a few large manufacturers of these components that supply multiple firms. You've probably never heard of the likes of Cree, Nichia, Kingbright, Kenzrun or the manufacturers based in Shenzhen, because they don't directly market their products to the public.

I guess I should clarify, since you didn't seem to make the deduction. Because only a few semiconductor manufacturers produce the vast number of LEDs, it's highly likely that the makers of consoles/VCRs/whatever use the same couple of suppliers for these parts. Naturally, all the green LEDs of a particular manufacturer are going to be the same shade coming off the same production line, except for specialty types that hardly anyone uses.
Green could have been chosen for several reasons. First, it uses the least power of any colour of LED which is why my MP3 player screen switches to a green backlight when it senses the battery is running out. Second, the human eye is such that it sees green hues more brightly than other shades. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
