Description
Summary:Significant gains in energy savings now underway can be traced to a single invention—the blue light‐emitting diode. GaN‐based blue LED technology not only resulted in efficient white light sources, but continues to enable a host of applications and scientific inquiries. The researchers primarily responsible for the development of the blue LED were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics.
