Blue LED inventor Shuji Nakamura to speak at NCKU on February 9
Tainan, Taiwan, February 2, 2017
Dr. Shuji Nakamura, laureate of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2014, will give a special lecture on the afternoon of February 9 at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan.
Dr. Nakamura’s lecture titled “The invention of high efficient blue LEDs and future Solid State lighting” will highlight his invention and the role of high efficient blue LEDs which is regarded as a breakthrough in lighting technology.
Dr. Nakamura is the 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physics for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes, which enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources.
The lecture will be held at 2:30-4:00 pm, February 9, in the First Lecture Room of the International Conference Hall, Kuang-Fu Campus.
Shuji Nakamura was born on May 22, 1954 in Ehime, Japan. He obtained B.E., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tokushima, Japan in 1977, 1979, and 1994, respectively. He joined Nichia Chemical Industries Ltd in 1979. In 1989, he started the research of blue LEDs using group-III nitride materials.
In 1993 and 1995, he developed the first group-III nitride-based blue/green LEDs. He also developed the first group-III nitride-based violet laser diodes (LDs) in 1995. He is the 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physics for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources.
Since 2000, he has been a professor of Materials and Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He holds more than 200 US patents and over 300 Japanese patents.
He has published over 550 papers in his field. Prof. Nakamura is the Research Director of the Solid State Lighting & Energy Electronics Center and The Cree Chair in Solid State Lighting & Displays.
In 2008, Nakamura, along with his colleagues Dr. Steven DenBaars and Dr. James Speck, founded the company Soraa, which produces and markets high-end LEDs.
