Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamps are often fixed in place and unable to be moved or positioned as desired, and existing portable lamps lack the flexibility and brightness provided by newer lighting technologies like OLEDs.
Innovation Solution
A multipurpose assistance lamp featuring a thin OLED lighting sheet with a curved surface, a transparent film, and a casing plate, supported by a rotary body and base with a hinged mechanism, allowing for flexible positioning and reduced thickness and volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional lamp structure is used, then the lamp can be fixedly mounted on a wall surface or ceiling, but it cannot be moved or positioned at desired locations
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is divided into separate components: a lighting unit with OLED sheet and a separate mounting base. This segmentation allows the lighting unit to be easily repositioned while the base remains fixed, resolving the contradiction between positioning flexibility and mounting stability
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting base incorporates a rotatable joint mechanism that allows the lighting unit to be dynamically adjusted to various angles and positions. This dynamic mounting system enables both fixed installation and flexible repositioning, addressing the contradiction between stable mounting and positioning adaptability
2Illumination intensity
If a filament type bulb or traditional LED is used, then the lamp structure becomes bulky, but brightness and thinness are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a thin-film OLED (organic light-emitting diode) sheet as the light source, which is inherently thin and flexible. This thin-film technology eliminates the need for bulky traditional bulb structures while providing high brightness, directly resolving the contradiction between brightness and thinness
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting unit combines multiple thin layers including the OLED sheet, transparent film, and thin casing plate to create a composite structure. This composite approach maintains brightness while minimizing overall thickness, addressing the contradiction between illumination intensity and volume
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple separate components are used for the lighting unit, then assembly complexity increases, but manufacturing precision and defect rates are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the OLED sheet, transparent film, and casing plate into a unified lighting unit structure where components are closely coupled. This merging reduces the number of separate assembly operations while maintaining manufacturing precision through integrated design, resolving the contradiction between assembly simplicity and manufacturing precision
