The man that made the power and energy-efficiency of LED technology accessible to the masses will be honored this May by the US National Inventors Hall of Fame.  Nick Holonyak is credited with developing the modern day LED, the innovative bulb that can be used and improved upon for applications in the areas of outdoor equipment, professional and military light torches, vehicle lamps, video displays and household lighting.  Holonyak invented the modern-day light-emitting diode while working at General Electric. This key lighting invention kick-started Nick’s long career of technology invention and advancement in the areas of physics, lasers, and semiconductors.  His contribution to the history of LED technology is one of the most significant because of its contribution to the brightness of the light itself and the energy efficiency at which it can be run.
