The is a Japanese chemical manufacturing company that's most widely known for producing phosphors, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
   The founder was Nobuo Ogawa (1912-2002), who supported Shuji Nakamura (1954- ) to do research on gallium nitride light-emitting diodes when it was generally considered a very risky business. It turned out to be a great success.

They later settled out of court with him for 840 million Yen (-US$7 million) in what was the highest bonus ever awarded by a Japanese company.
   After Nobuo Ogawa, the company was headed by Eiji Ogawa. Nichia Corporation's competitors include Seoul Semiconductor, Cree Inc. and Philips Lumileds Lighting Company.
   In January, 2006, Nichia launched a lawsuit against rival LED manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor, alleging design patent infringement.
