The Nichia Corporation (日亜化学工業株式会社 Nichia Kagaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha?) is a Japanese chemical manufacturing company that is most widely known for producing phosphors. The company achieved a certain amount of notoriety for a bonus of 20,000 Yen (-US$180) given to Shuji Nakamura for his invention of the first high brightness blue-light LED. 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.
