Zitat des Tages von Shuji Nakamura:
When I started on my research, I never expected I could invent the LED and laser diode.
My dream was to work for one of the big electronics companies like Sony or Panasonic.
Many researchers have joined the field and applied the LED to many new markets such as mobile phone screens, LED TV, and LED Lighting.
Basically, I like research because research is like to solve the quiz, you know. Always there is a problem, and I have to solve the problem. So I like those patterns. It's almost like research is sort of in a quiz.
It is very satisfying to see that my dream of LED lighting has become a reality.
The promise of energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and affordable lighting was there from the inception. The proliferation of the technology into areas such as displays, automotive, medicine and horticulture was unexpected.
It's good to have high-quality competition. It helps drive research forward at a faster pace.
