Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional phototherapy devices use fixed light emission, then the device structure is simple, but the treatment effectiveness is reduced due to inability to adjust according to body part state
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where sensing components detect the state of the affected body part and provide signals to the control circuit, which then adjusts the light emission parameters accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system enables dynamic adaptation of treatment parameters to actual physiological conditions, resolving the contradiction between treatment effectiveness and device complexity by making the complexity serve a purposeful adaptive function
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static, fixed light emission system into a dynamic one where emission parameters can be adjusted in real-time based on sensing feedback. The control circuit dynamically modifies light intensity and other parameters according to the detected body part state, allowing the system to adapt its behavior to changing treatment conditions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
2Ease of operation
If phototherapy devices provide fixed light strength, then the device is easy to operate, but the convenience of use is decreased due to inability to adjust to different treatment needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the device automatically adjusts its light emission parameters based on sensing feedback without requiring manual intervention from the user. The control circuit autonomously processes sensor data and modifies treatment parameters, making the device adaptable to different treatment needs while maintaining ease of operation, as the adjustment process occurs automatically rather than requiring complex user controls

AI summary
An electronic device includes a substrate, a first treatment component, a first sensing component and a circuit. The first treatment component is disposed on the substrate. The first treatment component includes a light-emitting component. The first sensing component is disposed on the substrate. The circuit is electrically connected to the first treatment component and the first sensing component. In a cross-sectional view of the electronic device, a width of the first treatment component is less than a width of the first sensing component. Therefore, the convenience of use may be increased, or the treatment effect on the target area may be increased.
