Could MacBooks soon become more environmentally friendly, but even more stylish, by eliminating the… power cord?
At the beginning of the week, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), filed a patent for a new one screen which is believed to have solar cells on the outside.
According to the technology website CNET, the American Patent and Patent Office granted the Kuverton Company patent for an "electronic device monitor", which describes a dual-screen display for a portable computer such as MacBook. One side will be a normal screen while the back will consist of solar cells, a secondary display and touch sensors.
As stated in the official document first filed nearly four years ago, the dual display could be made of a variety of materials, from metal and ceramic to glass and fiber composites. Placed on several levels, these materials could project different ones information, e.g. her famous apple Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.
"The back plate could be made of electrochromic glass," Apple representatives say in the text. "Photovoltaic cells may be placed under the back plate to produce energy with the help of an external light source."It is unclear whether the group will eventually decide to apply the .NUMX patent MacBook or in any of the following series of portables computers her. However, the development is being discussed so strongly on the websites and forums of Apple fanatics that many probably hope that the patent will one day become a reality.
