I began to think that Shuji Nakamura, Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano, didn't have any reason to win the Nobel Prize in Physics 2014, mainly because the LED lighting (The main reason after the blue LED for their fame) is still in its labor pains (Mainly because of its so rapid developing which don't leaves time to research), and in the sceince awards, the Nobel Committee used to award them only to inventions that proved to have a positive impact or proved to be doing the job successfully (What isn't the case with the LED lighting), and after many tens of years.
Other reasons that I think that the Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 shouldn't went to Shuji Nakamura, Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano:
1. They aren't the invertors of the blue LED like the Nobel Committee thought.
2. The LED lighting didn't proved its longevity.
3. The LED lighting increased energy consumption (By LED and fixtures manufacturing and transporting and disposing and recycling) in our plant.
4. The optical efficiency of most LED fixtures, is overtaken by the fluorescent and HID fixtures, because of the too concentrated output of LED over the rest lightsources.
5. LED lighting superglaring usually
6. LED lighting have very low color quality, regardless of CRI rating.
Also, I recently began to blame the smartphones revoloution, as the cause of the commercialization of the LED lighting, as before the iPhone, technology in general didn't developed in such a high speed, and I think that LED lighting won't come into the market easily if the smartphone revoloution won't be occured (At 2007, when Apple launched the first iPhone device, anyone didn't heard about the LED lighting).

Nick Holonyak Jr waa the one who invented the basis of today's LEDs, not these three Japanese guys.

Nick Holonyak is the invertor of the visible light LED in general. The three japanese scientists awarded the Nobel prize for the invention of the blue LED, but they aren't the inventors of the blue LED.
