Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional wired temperature sensing with infrared radiation detection. The light emitting device itself acts as a temperature sensor by emitting infrared radiation proportional to its temperature, eliminating the need for separate temperature sensors and wired connections that cause signal distortion. This substitution of mechanical/electrical sensing with optical detection resolves the signal distortion problem while maintaining temperature detection capability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a light absorbing film as an intermediary between the light emitting device and the detection unit. This film selectively absorbs infrared radiation emitted by the light emitting device while blocking other wavelengths, serving as a spectral filter that isolates the temperature-related thermal radiation signal from other electromagnetic interference, thereby improving temperature detection accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the detection unit continuously monitors the infrared radiation emitted by the light emitting device, determining its real-time temperature. This temperature information is fed back to the control system, which adjusts the driving current or operating parameters of the light emitting device to maintain optimal luminous efficiency and prevent excessive temperature rise, thus resolving the contradiction between high brightness operation and temperature control.
