Whether it tablets, smart phones or media player devices, current trends are miniaturization of internal components and specifications for those parts exaggeration that can boost sales figures: resolution camera, external speaker power, size and brightness.
All these bonuses pocket costs, but also in terms of energy consumption.
Wysips, a company of French origin found a portable display technology that can be transformed into a veritable solar battery without compromising in any way its basic functionality.
Company developed technology enables the creation of transparent solar batteries, form a flexible film that can be applied to the screen without adversely affecting image quality
tactile operation interface. Depending on screen size and lighting conditions, the film photovoltaic product Wysips allows charging a phone in about six hours. Solar film is able to convert sunlight into electricity both direct and ambient light sources. Being applied directly onto the surface of the screen, turn a light source, the technology of the Wysips could provide a way to recycle some of the energy used to illuminate the screen.Fortunately technology is developed Wysips a costly and current implementation of the devices would increase manufacturing costs by more than a dollar. Development company hopes to begin the first deliveries of photovoltaic films in less than a year, but it remains to be seen whether the low price will be enough to drive mass adoption by producers.
