With Wysips, mobile device batteries never run out

We already have the technology to allow you to locate your phone when the battery is running out or send a message even if the battery runs out of power, but what do you think if in the future you can own a phone that never runs out of battery? It may sound unbelievable, but it is the idea behind a groundbreaking technology called Wysips, with the ability to convert both artificial light and sunlight into electricity for mobile devices.

Wysips technology , short for "What You See Is Photovoltaic Surface" (What you see is a photovoltaic surface layer), is a product of SunPartner Group (France) specializing in new energy technology from sunlight.

It is developed based on what the manufacturer calls "an optical process" . Accordingly, a half-cylindrical lens layer is tightly pressed with a layer of photovoltaic crystals with a blocking layer, forming a sheet of extremely thin and transparent material. Photovoltaic technology has a blocking layer that changes the radiation of sunlight into electricity and semiconductors. Taken together, they create an optical effect that amplifies the exposure of photovoltaic batteries. Finally, electricity is generated by capturing energy from natural light or artificial light (light).

Wysips can be integrated into the device screen and extend battery life by 4 minutes after 10 minutes of exposure.

Wysips are transparent up to 90% according to industry standards and are believed to be invisible to the naked eye. This device can be mounted underneath or above the surface of the phone screen, tablet and smart watch. Integrated power from light energy will be transmitted straight into the charging circuit of the phone, just like when we pin the phone into a power outlet or USB port. The company also confirmed that the Wysips panel does not affect the contrast, brightness or viewing angle of the phone screen. In addition, Wysips technology can also be integrated into screens and window glass that SunPartner manufacturers believe they can turn every surface into a power supply.

SunPartner says their prototype products reach 2.5 milliwatts / cm ² when exposed to sunlight, which means allowing users to have an additional 2-4 minutes of talk time each time the phone touches. light for 10 minutes. For those products equipped with Wysips panels with a transparency of 60-70%, they can produce up to 10 milliwatt electricity / cm ² , which helps extend the battery life by 16 minutes for every 10 minutes of exposure. Currently SunPartner is looking to further improve the conversion rate of light into electricity of the device.

Last month, SunPartner and smartphone maker TCL Communications announced they were working together to develop a smartphone that works with light. The first product is expected to be launched in 2014. Accordingly, Wysips panels are installed right in the production process and connected to an electronic circuit to simultaneously generate electricity and manage power.
