2014 Nobel Prize in Physics in Stockholm, Sweden, announced on the 7th, two Japanese scientists and a Japanese-American scientist with the award.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on the 7th, 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded to Japanese scientists Isamu Akasaki, Amano ho and Japanese-American scientist Shuji Nakamura, on the grounds that they invented the energy saving "high-brightness blue light-emitting diode" so Introduces New LED bulbs to replace incandescent greater energy as possible, this invention caused a fundamental shift in lighting technology. Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano Meijo University in Japan are professors, and Shuji Nakamura is a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. They will share the 8 million Swedish Krona (equivalent to 6.83 million yuan in prize money).

By convention, the Nobel Prize organizers will get in touch with them before declaring winners. After the list announced at midnight 2:00 woken Shuji Nakamura said the award made him incredibly capable, and he is very happy. And Isamu Akasaki no winners what to expect, did not say always keep the phone next to other news, of course, he is also very happy after learning of the award. And who was on the plane ho Amano from Japan to France, only to the destination only after learning of the news.

This year's physics prize has a lot of popular candidates, including Chinese-American scientist Peidong Yang et al, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the award eventually Isamu Akasaki and other three scientists, indicating a greater focus on this year's Nobel Prize in Physics utility of the present invention. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences expert Delson said that since the late 19th century and Swan Edison invented the light bulb, people have been using incandescent bulbs. After high-brightness blue LED invention, makes it possible to obtain high efficiency energy-saving, long-lasting and strong white light, changing the lighting conditions in which people live and work, but also can be widely used in smart phones and other fields. Ms. Sanders, director of the British Institute of Physics said that the current lighting around the world spend more than 20 percent of the electricity supply, the use of LED light bulbs, this proportion will drop to 4%. This award-winning three scientists explain their achievements were recognized.

This is the second year the Nobel Prize selection committee announced the winners of the awards, chemistry, literature, economics, and equity awards will also be promulgated, the award ceremony will be held in December this year in Stockholm
