Technology Highlights

• The transparent photovoltaic solar (TPS) cells can be arranged as a screen and used for alternative energy sources for smart devices, however these TPS cell screens, placed either in between an LCD graphical display and a capacitive touch screen or on top of the touch screen, only provide alternative energy by adding one more layer of complexity to the existing devices.
• Generates low cost touch sensitive devices for large screen devices like TVs, and other huge display devices.
• Devices with photovoltaic solar cells can easily operate using gloves to mitigate hygienic issues. Compared to prior art, capacitive based touch screen are expensive to make and especially large screen devices like TVs and monitors.
• The touch sensitive surface comprises a combiner circuit configured to combine voltages produced by the plurality of transparent photovoltaic solar cells in such that energy continues to be generated in the event of a failure of a transparent photovoltaic solar cell in the array.
