One side will be a normal screen while the back will consist of solar cells, a secondary display and touch sensors.

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 spokeswoman said. "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.
