The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2014 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."
This year's Nobel Laureates invented a new energy efficient light source--the blue light-emitting diode (LED). With the invention of blue LEDs, white light can be created in new ways that is both longer lasting and more efficient than older alternative light sources.
