Abstract

A full-color shoe light device has at least a color-mixing LED, a power source, a vibration switch and a control IC. The color-mixing LED is several light-emitting chips of different colors, and is used to generate light of various colors. The power source provides electricity for the color-mixing LED. The vibration switch generates and sends a trigger signal to the control IC when vibrated. The control IC generates a drive signal to drive the color-mixing LED to emit multiple color variations in a flashing episode after receiving the trigger signal. When a wearer wearing a shoe with the full-color shoe light device installed therein walks, multiple color variations can be displayed along with his or her steps.
