10 de October 2014

The japanese scientists Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura received Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 last October 7. They were recognized for inventing diodes that emit blue LED lights. This discovery helped to create a new energy source capable to emit more efficient and environmentally friendly white light.

Dr. Samuel Hevia, Research Director from CIEN-UC, was interviewed about this topic by CNN Chile. Hevia said: “we normally use white light, not only red and green. As an example, to iluminate a room is better white light. If we get red, green and blue, the eyes could see white light.”.
