The progress of LED technology has never stopped, in addition to those fields that the industry is familiar with, in recent years, with the breakthrough of technology, the application field of LED has been expanding, and various magical operations have attracted attention. Since the beginning of this year, some powerful research results have come out, such as LED masks, masks, masks, and false eyelashes, which confirms the saying: only the unthinkable, nothing can be done. Online Jun has roughly listed ten of the more typical examples. It is worth noting that these ten major operations reflect a common point to varying degrees, that is, the breakthrough of LED technology has not only been reflected in its own basic application, but on this basis it is more humane and sustainable.
The LED mask has been upgraded to the world's first light mask to help the skin lock in collagen
In 2012, LED masks were introduced, which use red LEDs with wavelengths of 633 nm to 660 nm to eliminate wrinkles and reduce pores in a non-invasive way. In January 2018, the Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute upgraded the LED mask and developed the world's first light film, using patented technologies such as ultra-thin light guide film and micro nano transfer, so that 48 red LEDs full of 630nm can be evenly irradiated on the face, and the LED configuration of the light film also avoids the eyes and reduces the risk of eye irritation.
Japan has developed LED false eyelashes, flashing green light to blind your eyes
On January 11, the team of Professor Takakuni Doseki of Ritsumeikan University in Japan announced that they had jointly developed a "glowing false eyelashes" using "wireless power transmission" technology with Shiseido, and produced a prototype. The false eyelashes are capable of glowing green and shimmer according to the music. The team said it is expected to be used "at singers' concerts."
The light emitting principle of the prototype is that the LED emits light by transmitting electromagnetic waves equivalent to about 10 watts of electricity from the power transmission device and receiving electricity through a small power receiver with a length of about 35 millimeters and a weight of about 0.2 grams at the base of the false eyelashes.
A voice-activated LED mask appears that changes color to the beat of the music
In late January, a voice-activated mask designed for music lovers appeared on Kickstarter, a well-known foreign crowdfunding website, which can change different light colors according to the beat of the music.
The secret to the LED mask's ability to emit light is the use of a material called phosphorusink, the same material used in luminous watches, and a lithiummodulator that converts sound waves into a programmed glow-emitting pattern.
LED masks can detect air pollution and change the color of the light in real time to alert you
London is so polluted that 9,400 people die every year. To highlight the severity of air pollution, a cyclist, Greg McNevin, designed an LED mask to draw attention to the issue.
The LED mask is equipped with a sensor that works with the AirBeam air monitoring system and connects to the AirCasting website via Bluetooth to change color in real time according to air pollution.
Smart contact lenses equipped with LEDs can test blood sugar
Around February, the National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in Ulsan, South Korea, also began to research smart contact lenses, using sensors and LEDs in soft contact lenses to test blood sugar.
LED eye wearables with human-factors lighting technology mimic natural light
An HCL eye wearable device from OSRAM is equipped with LEDs that can mimic natural light at different levels of intensity, allowing users to adjust to different color temperatures and intensities according to their needs. The device, which allows passengers to quickly adapt to jet lag or allow athletes to compete during the night break, has already been used by the German ski team during the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. BMW Racing was also used in the 2018 24 Hours in Nuremberg, Germany, and Lehman, France.
The Indian traffic police have new clothes, and the LED light source uniforms ensure safety
In order to ensure the safety of the traffic police, the Kolkata police in India changed their uniforms in January, using uniforms equipped with LED light sources to make it easier for drivers to notice people directing traffic on the road at night or during rain and fog. It is reported that the designers installed ring lights composed of red LEDs and blue LEDs on the epaulettes, and the Indian military has 1,000 pieces so far, and in order to enhance the safety of the traffic police, 3,000 pieces will be distributed to the personnel of the traffic team in the future.
With this LED seat, you can't sit up again!
According to foreign media New Atlas, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramics in Germany have developed an LED chair that can provide guidance to people sitting in their seats.
Researchers are currently demonstrating the system on board the MS Wissenschaft exhibition ship in Germany. The researchers believe that this technology can also be integrated into more practical applications, such as floor mats or office chairs.
LED lights are embedded in the road surface as zebra crossings, which can be used to remind the lights and signs according to the changing road conditions
According to reports, the British company Umbrellium and car underwriter Direct Line have jointly developed a new type of road surface embedded with LED lights, which has been trialed in London, which can detect pedestrians and other vehicles, and change road lights and pipeline signs in real time according to road conditions, alerting drivers of possible dangers. In particular, when a pedestrian or bicycle is in the blind spot of the car driver, a red light warning will be displayed on the road.
Explosion-proof LED escape indicator with a service life of up to 15 years
Larson Electronics LLC, an American industrial lighting manufacturer, announced the production of an LED escape indicator named "EXP-EMG-EXT-LE6-1L-IAE", which will be used in the first, second and third hazard areas of the United States in the future due to its explosion-proof function.
When the power goes out, the 3.6-volt rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery installed in the indicator light can last for 3 hours, and the battery takes 24 hours to fully charge, but the service life is up to 15 years.
