Photobiomodulation(PBM)

PBM is a technology that uses light of a specific wavelength to control cell function and induce therapeutic effects. It mainly uses red light and near-infrared (NIR) light to promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. PBM therapy targets physiological responses at the cellular level. It stimulates and activates cellular metabolic activity, increases energy production, and promotes tissue healing.

PBM is non-invasive, painless, and has minimal side effects. It is used in various medical and cosmetic fields such as management, wound healing, inflammation reduction, and improvement of skin conditions. Photobiomodulation has a higher efficacy than conventional drug-based treatments. It has the advantage of being safe and having few side effects and it can be used at home. It is used in various fields, such as medical devices, sports medicine, and skin treatment.

Home PBM Side Effects 1: Low Temperature Burns

  • Current Issues: Using high-power LEDs or lasers in existing light therapy devices can cause heat build-up, which can cause low-temperature burns.

  • Solution: Bio-OLED is a high-efficiency light-emitting device with low heat generation characteristics, allowing it to be used for a long time. Since no heat build-up occurs on the skin when used, the risk of low-temperature burns is greatly reduced.

Home PBM Side Effects 2: Retinal Damage

  • Current Problem: Existing phototherapy devices have side effects. It is difficult to properly control the intensity or wavelength of light that may be generated.

  • Solution: Bio-OLED can precisely control NIR and red light, enabling treatment without side effects using safe wavelengths. This greatly improves safety when used at home.

Scalability and Utilization of PBM Bio-OLED

PBM Bio-OLED is a surface light source method that maximizes the therapeutic effect (wound healing, inflammation relief, etc.) by evenly dispersing the light wavelength. It shows expandability that can be applied to various body parts through flexible design. It can have global expandability through patent acquisition and new product development and can be used as a home medical device, skin and tissue treatment, and beauty device. It is expected to secure competitiveness in the global market by providing a safe and convenient treatment solution.

Potential for the development of phototherapy devices to alleviate depression

  • Thanks to Bio-OLED’s eye safety and surface light source properties, Expected to be a new solution for the development of phototherapy devices for alleviating brain diseases (such as depression) that were difficult to achieve with existing point light source-based technology

  • Our OLED's NIR-Red light provides safe and soft light to people, and has been proven effective in wound healing, inflammation relief, and metabolic disease relief.

  • This light can provide uniform stimulation to the nerves and brain through the eyes, and is expected to play an important role in alleviating brain diseases through phototherapy.

  • High potential for application to wearable devices

Possibility of developing a complex beauty device through the fusion of surface light source, high frequency, and galvanic

  • Wide irradiation range: The surface light source evenly irradiates light over a wide area, and when combined with high frequency and galvanic, it can deliver energy evenly to the entire skin.

  • Gentle energy transfer: Using soft light at low temperature, it is less burdensome on the skin even when used with high frequency. Safe for use on sensitive skin.

  • Complex synergy effect: Provides various skin improvement effects such as collagen production and cell activation promotion, elasticity improvement, moisturizing, and deep cleansing.

  • Flexibility and skin contact: OLED surface light source is designed to be flexible and can be closely attached to the curve of the body. When combined with high frequency and galvanic, the skin contact effect is improved.

Potential Use of Bio-OLED in Pet Supplies

  • Flexible Surface Light Source: Bio-OLED for Pet Supplies It can be easily grafted and combined with various pet living products. It can be designed so that pets can be naturally exposed to light during their daily lives.

  • Providing safe light therapy: Using safe Bio-OLED light, pets can improve their health without side effects while eating, exercising, or resting. Creating an environment where pets can naturally receive light therapy in their daily lives without needing pet care.

  • AI Convergence: Collect your pet's biometric data through pet supplies, analyze it using AI technology, and monitor your pet's health by adjusting the optimal Bio-OLED light exposure for each individual. Monitor your pet's activity patterns and health data. Real-time analysis enables more scientific and systematic health management.
