Moto Patents LCD Solar Cells
posted in Energy, Gadgets |When looking to add new technology to a device or product, one of the biggest challenges can be figuring out how to do it without increasing the physical size of the device. This is primarily because we, as consumers, like “smaller, faster, better” when it comes to our gadgets. So as companies seek to introduce fuel cells or solar chargers into devices, they are significantly constrained by small form factors. Congrats to Motorola for patenting a process in which the solar cell is integrated into the LCD screen!
