At the beginning of the week, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), patented a new screen believed to have solar cells from the outside.
According to the website technology CNET, the US Patent and Patent Office granted the company of Cupertino's patent for an "electronic device display," which describes a dual-sided display for portable electronic 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 mentioned in the official document filed for the first time nearly four years ago, the dual screen could be made from a variety of materials, from metal and ceramic to glass and fibrous composites. Located on many levels, these materials could display different information, e.g. its 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 one of its next series of laptops. THE development but it 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.
