Being an integral part of our lives, Smart phone brings a common problem “battery life crisis”. When you move out of your house for an average of 10-12 hours, you will certainly need to carry your battery charger along with you. But, the problem does not end here. For outdoorsy people, it is not always that easy to find a wall socket, right when your phone’s battery is about to drain out. Seems like the days of running after wall sockets are going to end pretty soon, with the evolution of transparent solar panel technology into the smartphone screens.
According to Daily Mail, Japanese electronics manufacturer Kyocera has demonstrated a smartphone prototype, which features a solar panel in the smartphone screens. This solar panel device will add one minute of call time for every three minutes of sunlight charging. A French company SunPartner Group is bringing in these solar panel called Wysips. These solar panels will be less than 0.5 millimeter in thickness and as much as 90% transparent. The sunlight capturing component called Wysips crystal can soak up energy from sunlight. These transparent solar panels will not be an absolute alternative to the conventional charging system, but can provide enough support in emergency situation when there is no charger available.
