Motorola patents solar powered LCD panels

A recently released patent from Motorola reveals a cellphone design that integrates solar panels and the LCD display of the phone. Environmental-lovin’ nerds are sure to be up in arms with a joyous stupor over the announcement of solar integration.

The technology works best with black LCD screens, with 75% of the rays reaching past the display layer. The thin film layer needed to integrate the two technologies is still pretty expensive, which has so far, not allowed for a commercial use of solar-powered cellphones. — Andrew Dobrow
