In recent years, manufacturers have begun to think of smartphones to increase the battery life of devices. This is achieved in many different ways: through the use of energy-efficient processors, the improvement of software optimization or increase the capacity of the batteries. Scientists from the University of Michigan found a way to use screen smartphone to increase the battery life of the machine.
In order to conserve energy company Samsung, for example, uses its low-power displays, produced by technology AMOLED, but it's just a little saves battery power. Scientists from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of solar panel that has a completely transparent body. These solar panels can be found in some homes that have photovoltaic strips along the edges to capture light.Scientists have developed a panel of organic molecules capable of capturing infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, which made them completely transparent.
This solar panel can be made with the use of thin plastic material that allows you to use it on the windows of cars, smart phones or conventional home windows. The only drawback of these panels is that they lock 1% of the light that passes through them. The developers hope that they will be able to achieve results in a 5%, when the technology is fully optimized.
The most efficient solar panels are capable to capture 40% of the light, but they are opaque. So that the use of solar panels in new displays will allow our smartphones, though not much, but to reduce the rate of discharge of the battery.
