Biography Shuji Nakamura was born on May 22, 1954 in Ehime, Japan. He obtained B.E., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tokushima, Japan in 1977, 1979, and 1994, respectively. He joined Nichia Chemical Industries Ltd in 1979. In 1988, he spent a year at the University of Florida as a visiting research associate. In 1989 he started the research of blue LEDs using group-III nitride materials. In 1993 and 1995 he developed the first group-III nitride-based high efficient blue/green LEDs. He also developed the first group-III nitride-based violet laser diodes (LDs) in 1995. He has received a number of awards, including: the Benjamin Franklin Medal Award (2002), the Finnish Millennium Technology Prize (2006), the price of Asturias Award from Spain (2008) and the Harvey Prize of Israel Institute of Technology (2010). He received the Noble prize in Physics in 2014. Since 2000, he is a professor of Materials Department of University of California Santa Barbara. |

Abstract Display has continuously evolved withnewer technologies, for example, from black&white to color, from CRT to FPD(Flat Panel Display), and from PDP to LCD. Despite the significant technology advances of LCD, during the decades of LCD era, many people still desire another new technology. We believe that OLED is one of them. OLED display has a huge potential in picture quality, design, and expandability to various applications (e.g. transparent, flexible), and is a display in a different dimension compared with conventional LCDs. OLED is opening a new market at this time. Therefore we would like to explain in details why we have to focus on OLED technology, what the advantagesof OLED are and what values OLED can give us.. Finally we will propose our future with OLED. |
