Many modern people look at their smartphones before going to bed and fall asleep, or use them before going to bed. When you look at your smartphone in a dark environment, it is easily exposed to blue light, and blue light that enters through the eyes suppresses the production of melatonin, a sleep hormone, to awaken the brain and expel sleepiness, prevent complete sleep. In addition, it takes three times more time to fall asleep than usual, and the number of tossing and turning even in sleep doubles. Therefore, if you put your smartphone on the PLAID before you go to sleep, the smartphone will be wirelessly charged and the low-wavelength sleep guidance lamp will be turned on in the product, helping users get out of the smartphone and sleep. Also, if you need a short break in your daily life, you can use it like a mood lamp if you put your smartphone on it. PLAID is a product that allows users to get away from their smartphones for a while and give them a complete rest.
