2024 - Control Your Light

Light is an essential element that cannot be missed in our lives. It is difficult to live in darkness where there is no light at all, but it is also difficult to live in ultimately strong light. However, people in the world would pursue the stable and comfortable light. Excessive light can cause glare and discomfort, while too little light can make it difficult to see even nearby objects and render post-sunset activities impossible.

The problem is, Sun is getting stronger nowadays. Sunlight is reaching us at a level that poses a threat as the ozone layer is being destroyed due to global warming. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation can lead to impaired vision, increased risk of cataracts, and even blindness. Moreover, it accelerates skin aging, thickens the skin, and promotes the development of freckles or spots. That is why we aimed to control the sunlight in order to increase the well-being of the human species on the planet.

Our project name is ”Control Your Light” and we suggest light object, . aims to control the threatening light which can harm humans’ health so that you can enjoy consistent level of the light. uses perovskite solar cells made of nanoparticles. Perovskite solar cells are in liquid form and can be applied to various materials such as nets, clothes, glass, wood, and cement, and are used to control light. Perovskite is a nano-sized porous structure made of titanium dioxide. Because it has many pores, it is easy to manufacture and plays a role in increasing energy conversion efficiency. In addition, compared to silicon solar cells, the manufacturing process is innovative, and the unit cost is correspondingly lower, allowing the limitations of silicon cells to be overcome.

Natural light comes to our lives in different ways every time. In order to utilize as much of the given light as possible, we planned that can be reflected in various shapes and materials. can be used in polygonal shapes such as squares and triangles through very small-sized nanoparticles, and can also be used in pyramid or dome shapes. In addition, flexible nano lighting can be used on indoor partitions and ceilings in addition to basic glass windows, depending on its properties that allow it to be applied to various materials. It can also be used in many places, such as outdoor greenhouses and shade canopies. In particular, greenhouses can be adjusted differently depending on the amount of light for each plant, making them highly useful in the horticultural field.

controls light by varying its functions depending on the intensity, which means the amount of light. When the light is strong or the amount of light is large, flexible nano lighting stores part of the light as energy through blue particles in and reflects some of it to create consistent light. When the amount of light is appropriate, it passes through the yellow particles. If the light is weak or the amount of light is small, the light passes through the red light particles and the stored light energy is also added through flexible nano lighting. uses this circulation structure to make the most of the light given to us without wasting it. Additionally, the light naturally changes through the various colors of the particles. The flow of light can be visually recognized through color gradation. Also this feature allows it to be used as a design element.

We live between the extremes of darkness and light. Excessive darkness and excessive brightness cause various discomforts in our lives, skin, etc. Many people are putting a lot of effort into relieving that inconvenience. is an effort to solve the light that disturbs our lives and will become the “Light of tomorrow” for everyone on the planet, considering functionality, aesthetics, and usability.
