Oleg Vladimirovich Losev was a Russian and Soviet scientist and inventor who lived from 1903 to 1942 and who made significant discoveries in the field of semiconductor junctions, for which he held six author's certificates, the Soviet version of patents. He observed light emission from carborundum point-contact junctions, constructing a light-emitting diode, did the first research on such diodes, proposed the first correct theory of how they worked, and used them in practical applications such as electronic oscillators.
