Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If treatment light is applied at close range from the device fixed to the face, then therapeutic effectiveness is improved, but user comfort deteriorates causing strong discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional flat light emission to three-dimensional light emission by disposing LEDs on the front surface, rear surface, and side surfaces of the transparent resin layer. This spatial distribution creates a volumetric light field that maintains close proximity therapeutic effectiveness while reducing concentrated discomfort on the user's face.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different light emission characteristics to different regions of the device. LEDs are strategically positioned at specific locations (front, rear, and sides) with different orientations, creating localized light zones that collectively provide comprehensive therapy while distributing discomfort across broader areas rather than concentrating it.
2Reliability
If treatment light is applied at close range from the device fixed to the face, then therapeutic effectiveness is improved, but ease of continuous use deteriorates leading to suspension of preventive treatment
Solution Approach 1:
By creating a three-dimensional light emission structure with LEDs on multiple surfaces, the patent achieves effective therapy at close range without the intense localized discomfort that would prevent continuous use. The distributed light fields provide consistent therapeutic effect while maintaining user comfort for long-term preventive treatment.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent resin layer serves multiple functions: it acts as a light guide, a structural component, and a comfort interface against the user's face. This multi-functionality integrates therapeutic effectiveness with user comfort, enabling continuous ease of use for preventive treatment.
3Reliability
If blinking light at predetermined frequency is applied to give visual stimulus, then therapeutic effect is improved, but user comfort deteriorates due to strong discomfort from close-range application
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a three-dimensional blinking light field by positioning LEDs on front, rear, and side surfaces. This volumetric approach distributes the visual stimulus across space, maintaining the therapeutic blinking frequency effect while reducing the intensity concentration that causes discomfort at close range.
Solution Approach 2:
Different LED groups on various surfaces emit blinking light with potentially different characteristics, creating localized visual stimulus zones. This allows the overall therapeutic effect to be maintained through cumulative action while individual zones have reduced intensity, minimizing visual discomfort.
