Today, blue light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, quite literally surround us nearly everywhere we go. They are in our homes, our TVs and our phones.

The origin of blue LED technology traces back to Japan in the late ‘80s, at a small chemical and electronics company called Nichia Corporation. Shuji Nakamura  – a UC Santa Barbara faculty member since 2000 – developed this technology when he was a member of the research and development team at Nichia. His work has laid the foundation for much of the lighting technology we use today.
