Wysips introduced a hybrid display with solar panels.

Every day at various events are shown prototypes and fully working devices that previously would have been considered simply fiction. The CTIA event is not an exception, where a lot of interesting things are already presented, including the display concept with solar panels from Wysips. The idea is quite simple - the display is covered with a transparent film, which is a solar battery. The idea, in principle, is good, because it is the display that is mostly constantly in the light. Mobile phones, communicators, tablets are constantly lying next to us on the tables, and now they can also be charged during the "rest".

Wysips has so far been able to provide only a prototype device with a similar display. In this case, the film gave quite a decent result - 1.2-2.5V in the room where the exhibition was held. Another prototype, presented by the company, looked somewhat worse - it was the iPhone 3G (well, yes, as without it) with an unconnected “solar” film placed under the glass to demonstrate the appearance of the device with a hybrid display. According to eyewitnesses, when changing the angle of the phone, there were problems with the visibility of the contents of the phone screen. But, according to company representatives, this is already an outdated film prototype, the flaws of which have already been corrected (it is not clear why the displays with new “solar” films were not shown).

So far, the current produced by such a film is not enough to keep the battery fully charged at all times. But if you let the phone lie in the sun (we all remember that it is better not to leave the equipment in direct sunlight for a long time?), Then the device battery will be recharged. The efficiency of such a film - 9%, which is pretty good. Of course, there are already solar panels with an efficiency of 40%, but this is still a rarity and obviously “solar” film cannot provide such efficiency.

Now the company is busy establishing relationships with manufacturers of mobile devices, with telecom operators, and perhaps, after a short time, devices with hybrid displays will appear on store shelves.
