According to Nobel committee citation, this year’s Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano, Nagoya University, Japan, and Shuji Nakamura, University of California, Santa Barbara, for the invention of efficient blue-light emitting diodes (LEDs). These have enabled bright and energy-saving white-light sources. In the spirit of Alfred Nobel, the prize rewards an invention of greatest benefit to mankind, and by using blue LEDs, white light can be created in a new way.
