Technology 101: The Illusive Blue LED – From Myth to Reality

Blue LED light emitting diodes Electrical Electricity Computing

The blue , a pivotal innovation in lighting , was developed in the early 1990s by Shuji Nakamura, along with Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano. This invention was significant enough to earn them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014. Blue LEDs are essential because they have a higher gap, allowing for the production of blue , which, when combined with red and green LEDs, can create white light. This advancement has led to energy-efficient lighting solutions that are revolutionizing industries and consumer products worldwide. Photo by panumas nikhomkhai

(The entire home solar set is expected to cost house owners RM60,000 – it is not cheap but the return of investment does look favourable. If there are special funds for house owners to part-finance the set-up cost and then tie the repayment to the monthly FiT, that will promote greater use of solar panels at residential areas.
