Canon A-1 was introduced April 1978.  It had 7-segment red LED display
indicating shutter speed, f-stop, flash-ok, manual mode display, and other
warnings.

AE-1 which was introduced in April 1976 already had LED, as I recall.

I was a product engineer for IC chips used in those cameras and other ones
(AE-1P, AL-1 with CCD line censors,  Sure Shot, Sure Shot2).
