A screen smartphone that charges the battery

WYSIPS demonstrated a prototype screen that has a photovoltaic film that can recharge the battery using sunlight or ambient. The panel is thin enough not to disturb the functioning of the touch layer. WYSIPS is a French company that has distinguished itself at the conference Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, which is currently underway and which includes actors from the world of mobile devices.

Its product is indeed very interesting and the firm announced that it already works with handset manufacturers and operators to incorporate its technology. The reason for this solar panel does not interfere with touch-sensitive layer is that it has a thickness of only 100 microns. With such a system, one can imagine the batteries smaller and more independent terminals.

The products on display are tools for development, but they seem relatively SUCCESSFUL. One of them was working on an iPhone 4. According to the company it takes 6 hours of sunlight to recharge its battery completely and a bit longer under a lamp. The product does not allow the creation of a smartphone self-sufficient, but could extend battery life and reduce the number of times it is necessary to connect the equipment into an outlet.

The president of the firm, Ludovic Deblois, hopes to sign partnerships and see its integrated in products marketed within the next twelve months. A video is available on the laptop.
