Kelvin Lecture
Lighting up the future - the way ahead for solid-state lighting
Speaker: Professor Shuji Nakamura, Materials Department and Solid State Lighting Energy Center, University of California, USA
6.00pm for 6.30pm at IET, Savoy Place WC2R 0BL
Professor Nakamura pioneered the first group-III nitride-based blue/green LEDs and group-III nitride-based violet laser diodes (LDs), bringing about a revolution in lighting technology. LEDs are generally very long lasting and the typical red or yellow LEDs have estimated life-times of about more than 10 years, greatly reducing energy consumption and ongoing maintenance costs. No other single lighting technology presents so much potential to conserve valuable electricity. LEDs can provide high quality lighting in an increasing number of applications and now Nakamura is moving this remarkable phenomenon in technology forward into economic reality with a long term goal to Light-Up-The-World on implementation.
