英国伦敦：由于创建和开发LED照明而获得2021年伊丽莎白女王工程奖（QEPrize），这是所有固态照明技术的基础。赤崎勇（Isamu Akasaki），中村修二（Shuji Nakamura），尼克·霍尼奥克（Nick Holonyak Jr），乔治·克雷福德（M.减少能源消耗并应对气候变化。
伊丽莎白女王工程奖于2013年以女王陛下的名字首次颁发，旨在庆祝工程领域的突破性创新。伊丽莎白女王工程基金会主席Madingley的Browne勋爵宣布了2021年获奖者。皇家公主殿下向获奖者表示祝贺。
伊丽莎白女王工程基金会主席马丁利（Madingley）勋爵洛德（Lord Browne）表示：“今年的获奖者不仅帮助人类对环境有了更大的掌握，而且使我们能够以可持续的方式做到这一点。” “他们创造了一种我们现在认为理所当然的产品，但是它将在确保人类在未来多个世纪中与自然和谐相处中发挥重要作用。”
伊丽莎白女王工程奖评审小组主席克里斯托弗·斯诺登爵士（Sir Christopher Snowden）说：“这项创新的影响不可低估。” “这使照明对于新兴经济体而言更加便宜且易于使用。例如，在以前唯一的选择是石蜡灯的渔船上使用的是LED。它们更便宜，更安全。这不仅是一项极端的工程成就，而且是对环境产生重大影响的社会影响。”
获奖者将在今年晚些时候的颁奖典礼上获得正式荣誉。他们将获得100万英镑的奖金和一个标志性的奖杯，该奖杯是由2021年Create Trophy奖得主Hannah Goldsmith设计的，他是来自英国的20岁设计专业的学生。

LED Lighting Development Wins 2021 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering (QEPrize)
London, UK: The 2021 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering (QEPrize) is being awarded for the creation and development of LED lighting, which forms the basis of all solid-state lighting technology. Isamu Akasaki, Shuji Nakamura, Nick Holonyak Jr, M. George Craford and Russell Dupuis are recognized not only for the global impact of LED and solid-state lighting but also for the tremendous contribution the technology has made, and will continue to make, to reducing energy consumption and addressing climate change.
First awarded in 2013 in the name of Her Majesty The Queen, the QEPrize exists to celebrate ground-breaking innovation in engineering. The 2021 winners were announced by Lord Browne of Madingley, Chairman of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering Foundation. HRH The Princess Royal shared a message of congratulation for the winners.
“This year’s Prize winners have not only helped humanity to achieve a greater degree of mastery over the environment, they have enabled us to do so in a sustainable way,” said Lord Browne of Madingley, Chairman, Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering Foundation. “They have created a product which we now take for granted, but which will play a major role in ensuring that humanity can live in harmony with nature for many more centuries to come.”
“The impact of this innovation is not to be understated,” said Professor Sir Christopher Snowden, Chair of the QEPrize Judging Panel. “It makes lighting a lot cheaper and more accessible for emerging economies. For example, LEDs are being used on fishing boats where previously the only option would have been paraffin lamps. They are much cheaper and safer. It is not only an extreme engineering achievement but a societal impact that has a significant impact on the environment.”
The winners will be formally honored at a ceremony later this year; they will receive the £1 million prize and an iconic trophy, designed by the 2021 Create the Trophy winner Hannah Goldsmith, a 20-year-old design student from the United Kingdom.
