Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If traditional motor means and single optics means are used, then moving effects and image display are achieved, but device size becomes bulky and noise increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces motor means with LED sequential flashing to create moving effects. Instead of using mechanical rotation or movement to display images, the invention uses electronic control of multiple LEDs to flash in sequence, creating the illusion of motion and image display without any moving mechanical parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the light source into multiple LED elements that can be controlled independently. By segmenting the lighting system into multiple controllable LEDs with different colors and timing, the invention achieves complex moving image effects through coordinated flashing of individual LED segments rather than requiring a single powerful light source with mechanical movement.
2Power
If wired power connections are used, then sufficient power is supplied to LEDs and laser lights, but safety risks increase due to exposed wires
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the wired connection component from the power supply system. Instead of using traditional wired power connections that pose safety risks, the invention adopts a wireless power transmission approach where power is transmitted through air or electromagnetic fields, removing the harmful exposed wires while maintaining sufficient power delivery to the LED and laser light elements.
3Ease of operation
If battery operation is used, then wireless portability is achieved, but frequent battery changes are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous power supply through wireless power transmission, eliminating the intermittent operation and frequent interruptions caused by battery depletion. The system maintains continuous useful action by receiving power continuously from a remote source, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the LED and laser light elements without the need for periodic battery replacement.
4Area of stationary object
If multiple optics means are used to create wider area images, then image coverage increases, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent expands the image display area by utilizing temporal dimension through sequential LED flashing rather than solely relying on spatial arrangement of multiple optics means. By controlling LEDs to flash in different sequences and patterns, the invention creates the perception of larger area coverage and moving images through time-based manipulation, reducing the need for complex multi-element optical systems.

AI summary
An LED and/or laser light device for having a plug-in power source, an interchangeable power source, or a USB power source incorporates more than one optical element having more than one reflective or refractive surfaces at different positions, distances, and/or orientations relative to the LEDs and/or laser-light source of the LED or laser light to cause light beams to reflect or refract before passing through the optical elements and create or project an image, message, time, geometric art, nature scene, galaxy, milky way, sky, cloud, start, moon, water-wave, aurora light, animal, characters, cartoon, sign, logo, commercial to at least one surface surrounding the light device. The optical elements may have a predetermined texture and/or shaped openings, windows, cutouts, or variable thicknesses and further may incorporate parts and accessories such as a motor to provide moving image effects with a wide viewing angle and variable colors or patterns.
