Charge your battery with a 'near-transparent' screen that emits electricity

A French company, SunPartner, has recently developed a "near-transparent" phone screen that is capable of producing electricity for solar-powered phones , promising to be available in the market. in the next year.

Instead of waiting until the fully transparent solar battery is ready for use, SunPartner is using a thin, film-like solar cell in an arrangement the company says it can. It is suitable to place it between the screen of the smartphone and the protective glass cover.

The arrangement of SunPartner is to replace thin strips of photovoltaic cells with a transparent layer, covered by a layer of focused lens that focuses light on the battery. This structure will be placed between the screen of the phone. smart and protective glass cover.

The company also said that with the IEEE Spectrum site, the developing company's prototype achieved 82% transparency and was aiming for 90% of the time.

With additional installation costs of just a few dollars for solar-powered screens, the company said the new technology would increase the battery life by 20 percent for normal use. , and can collect enough solar power for the phone in daylight permanently. SunPartner says it is working with three other manufacturers to test the new technology.
