There are many people who remember that Koichi Tanaka of Shimadzu Corporation received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the blue light-emitting diode. In reality, in 2014 Shuji Nakamura, Isamu Akasaki, and Hiroshi Amano of Nichia Corporation received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the blue light-emitting diode. In reality, Koichi Tanaka received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of mass spectrometric analysis using a soft laser. Also, regarding the blue light-emitting diode, gallium nitride semiconductors come into play, but since the details would make for a long piece, I will omit them in this book.
