Wysips to turn your phone into a solar power plant

French start-up firm, Wysips, is now offering to turn your mobile phone display into a portable solar panel of sorts that can bask in the glory of the sun and generate renewable energy. The firm uses transparent photovoltaic film that’s placed on the surface of your mobile phone screen. The bigger the screen, the more the energy your phone can soak in. this see-thru solar panel is a one-of-its-kind and can push up solar energy generation like never before. Also in case of touchscreens, the film is simply place below the screen that resides below the capacitive touch layer, causing no effect to the phone’s touch sensitivity.

And no, the sun isn’t the only source of light that is required. The film can also generate those lovely sparks with light rays from indoor lighting. Maybe up ahead, these films could soak in the light emitting from the backlight too!
