science journalist Victoria Dyring have tells P3 news of the prized invention.
– They have made the entire invention as so many of us know, the LED lamp. An energy efficient and brighter alternative to the incandescent lamp. It is a practical invention that has a very clear function.
The particularity of the invention, according to Victoria Dyring the blue light. It has previously been able to produce green and red light, but the blue light has much more use when you can convert it into white light, for example, can be used in reading lamps. The fact that this invention would win had not Dyring Victoria and her colleagues tipped on.
– I was very surprised. We had other ideas about who would get the prize, but it’s great fun. These people have revolutionized the entire lighting technology. It’s not so common for inventions win Nobelpiset, but it happens occasionally.
The technology has been around since the 90s, and has developed a lot since then, says Victoria Dyring.
– It goes pretty fast forward, now we try to make them more energy efficient, for example.
