You Light Up My Life! Artificial Lighting from Light Bulbs to Display Screens

Artificial lighting is integrated in our modern life – from lighting our homes to lighting our gaming screens. We are spending, on average, more than eight hours per day looking at display screens and probably more hours under artificial illumination. Increasing light quality and improving display technology will make a great impact in our daily life. This talk will give an overview of how artificial lighting has been developed. What makes blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), whose inventors won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics, different from green or red LEDs? What do we expect in future lighting and display technology?
