One of the main problems of smartphones is the battery, multiple manufacturers of mobile terminals are trying to solve it, but no one has come close to an acceptable final result. Those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he still tries his best, and a new patent published during this day describes a terminal battery charging system iPhone using photovoitic cells.
An electronic device is provided with a display and a solar cell ambient light sensor that receives light through a portion of the display. The solar cell ambient light sensor may include one or more thin-film photovoltaic cells. A voltage that accumulates within the thin-film photovoltaic cell in response to ambient light is sampled and converted into ambient light data.
By taking solar energy and using it to charge the battery of our iPhones, there is a possibility that the autonomy of the battery can be seriously extended. The new implementation of those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), involves the introduction photovoltaic cells in the ambient light sensor of our terminals, so whenever we hold the iPhone with the screen towards a light source, it could charge.
The device includes control circuitry that modifies the intensity of display light generated by the display based on the ambient light data from the photovoltaic cell. The solar cell ambient light sensor is attached to a transparent cover layer, a color filter layer, or any other layer of the display.
Today the company's patented technology Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it was sent for registration in 2012 and published only this week, so we are not talking about something completely new.
