Inventor of LED LED的发明者
On April 23, 2004, Holonyak received the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize at a ceremony in Washington.This marks the 1Oth year that the Lemelson-MIT Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has given the award to prominent inventors.
Holonyak, 75, was a student of John Bardeen, an inventor of the transistor, in the early 1950s. After graduate school, Holonyak worked at Ben Labs.He later went to General Electric, where he invented a switch now widely used in house dimmer switches.
Holonyak, now a professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at the University of Illinois, said he suspected that LEDs would become as commonplace as they are today, but didnt realize how many uses they would have.
The Lemelson-MIT Program also recognized Edith Flanigen, 75, with the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award for her work on a new generation of molecular sieves, that can separate molecules by size.
2004年4月23号,Holonyak在华盛顿的一次典礼上被授予麻省理工Lemelson项目的50万美元的奖金。这是麻省理工的LemelsonMIT项目第十年颁奖给杰出的发明人。
Holonyak,75岁,是上世纪50年代初期晶体管的发明者John Bardeen的学生。从研究生院毕业之后,Holonyak在Bell实验室工作。之后去了通用电器公司,在那里他发明了一种开关,现在在家用减光开关中普遍使用。
Holonyak现在是伊利诺斯大学电子、计算机工程和物理专业的教授,他说他预测LED的使用有可能像今天这样普遍,但没有意识到它会有多少用途。
LemelsonMIT项目同样授予75岁的Edith Flanigen 10万美元的终身成就奖,她的工作是创造新一代的分子筛,也就是可以通过大小来分离分子。
