The 60-year-old professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, said he wants to rebuild ties with former employer Nichia Corp., despite launching a lawsuit against the chemical maker over patent rights to his groundbreaking blue light-emitting diode technology. "My Nobel Prize was made possible because Nichia led the world in LEDs," Nakamura said.
