Haven't you ever heard of an LED?
"The phenomenon of light emission by electrical excitation of a solid was
first observed in 1907 by H. J. Round using silicon carbide (SiC). O. V.
Lossev investigated these electro-luminescence effects in more detail
between 1927 and 1942, and correctly assumed that they represent the inverse
of Einstein’s well-known photoelectric effect."
