Inventor of LED ，在那里他发明了一种开关，现在被普遍用于 When Nick Holonyak set out to create a new kind 家用减光开关中。后来，Holonyak开始研究如 of visible lighting using semiconductor alloys,his 何应用半导体发电。当他的同事们正在研究如 colleagues thought he was unrealistic. Today, his 何发出看不见的光时，他却想要研究看得见的 discovery of light-emitting diodes, or LEDs,are 光。他在1962年发明的LED ，与白炽灯泡相比 used in everything from DVDs to alarm clocks to ，寿命长十倍，对环境无污染，耗能少。 airports. Dozens of his students have continued his Holonyak现在是伊利诺斯大学电子、计算机工 work, developing lighting used in traffic lights and 程和物理专业的教授，他说他预料到LED 的使 other everyday technology. 用有可能像今天这样普遍，但没有意识到它会 On April 23, 2004,Holonyak received the$500,000 有多少用途。 Lemelson-MIT Prize at a ceremony in “开始的时候，你认为你在做一件很重要的事 Washington.This marks the 10th year that the 情，你认为它值得做，但是你说不出要付出多 Lemelson-MIT Program at the MassachGsetts 大的代价，什么时候付出，怎样付出。”他说 Institute of Technology ( MIT)has given the award 。 to prominent inventors.Anytime you get an Lemelson-MIT项目同样授予75岁的Edith award,big or little, its always a surprise.
