2014 Hotel Prize - Ties to ECS

摘要

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 was awarded jointly to Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura "for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources." The investigation of light emitting materials is firmly established in the technical area of ECS and we are thrilled that the invention of efficient LEDs is deemed significant enough to deserve the Nobel Prize. We are even more thrilled that some of the awardees also have an association with ECS.
