Nanotechnology and Materials (FY2016 update) Meeting the challenge of "impossible" technology Succeeded in the practical implementation of blue light-emitting diode! Research in the unattainable territory that won the Nobel Prize The 2014 Nobel Physics Prize was presented to blue LED. The development of blue LED resulted in the three researchers, Professor Isamu Akasaki, Professor commercialization of much brighter and energy-saving Hiroshi Amano and Professor Shuji Nakamura for the white light, thus contributing to energy conservation invention of an efficient blue light-emitting diode (LED). in the world and an improvement of people's lives in Red LEDs and yellow-green LEDs were developed in the areas without sufficient electricity. In addition to their 1960s; however, practical implementation of blue LEDs use as light sources, blue LEDs are now being widely was so difficult that it was even said that "it would be applied in various fields such as information technology, impossible to realize blue LEDs by the end of the 20th transportation, medicine and agriculture. Additionally, century." Amid such a circumstance, Professor Akasaki, the technology to put gallium nitride into practical Professor Amano and Professor Nakamura worked on implementation developed by the three researchers is the high-quality single crystallization and the p-type expected to find various applications in the future, such doping of gallium nitride (GaN), both of which had been as an application in power devices that serve as electric given up by researchers around the world.
