Mirror With Multi-Angle LED Illumination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mirrors with light strips have limited illumination areas and single display effects, unable to provide multi-angle illumination.
Innovation Solution
A mirror design featuring multiple LED light strips and annular light guide covers that emit light from different angles, including a first LED light strip on the inner wall, a second LED light strip on the outer frame, and a third LED light strip on the rear, with a control module to manage light colors and brightness, and an anti-mist device for improved aesthetics and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a light guide ring is used to guide light from the light strip, then the light transmission is achieved, but the illumination area is limited and the display effect is single
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the light guide structure into multiple independent light guide pieces (first, second, third light guide pieces) arranged in different spatial orientations. Each light guide piece directs light from a different angle, collectively expanding the illumination area and creating multi-angle lighting effects without requiring a single complex light guide ring
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional light guide ring to a three-dimensional arrangement of multiple light guide pieces positioned at different angles and depths. This spatial dimensionality change enables light to be emitted from multiple directions (front, side, rear), significantly expanding the effective illumination area and creating dynamic display effects
2Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional light strip is disposed inside the mirror, then the illumination function is achieved, but multi-angle illumination cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single light strip into multiple LED light strips (first, second, third LED light strips) positioned at different locations and orientations within the mirror structure. Each strip illuminates a different direction, enabling multi-angle illumination while maintaining modular simplicity that avoids excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent arranges light strips in three-dimensional space with different orientations (front-facing, side-facing, rear-facing). This spatial arrangement transforms the conventional single-plane illumination into multi-dimensional lighting, achieving versatile multi-angle illumination without overly complicating the internal structure
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The mirror achieves multi-angle illumination, enhancing its use in various environments and improving aesthetics by allowing light emission from the front, side, and rear, while maintaining a simple and ingenious structure for easy assembly and maintenance.
Implementation Method 1
a first LED light strip, disposed on an inner wall of the middle hole and disposed on a front end of the mirror body
Implementation Method 2
Light emitted by the light strip is transmitted through a light guide ring of the conventional mirror

AI summary
A mirror capable of emitting lights from multiple angles includes an outer frame defining a middle hole, a mirror body disposed in the middle hole, a first LED light strip, a first annular light guide cover, a light strip frame, and a second LED light strip. The first LED light strip is disposed on an inner wall of the middle hole and disposed on a front end of the mirror body. The first annular light guide cover is disposed on the outer frame and disposed in a light-emitting direction of the first LED light strip. The light strip frame is disposed on a rear of the mirror body. The second LED light strip is disposed on the light strip frame. An annular light transmitting portion is disposed on the mirror body. The second LED light strip is disposed on an inner side of the annular light transmitting portion.
