On a sunny spring day like today in Paris, the invention of a small French start-up called Wysips certainly sounds like a great idea.Wysips—which stands for ‘What You See Is Photovoltaic Surface’—has invented a thin transparent photovoltaic film that can charge your phone with solar power.
The film –a world first apparently—will be integrated into mobile phones and can be adapted to any mobile phone screen at a cost of around $1.
One hour of charging in the sunlight will generate power for around 30 minutes of calls, without interfering with the phone’s touch-screen, says Ludovic Deblois, co-founder and president of the company based near Aix-en-Provence in the sunny south of France. The Acer as07b31 battery Replacement Acer as07b41 battery technology also works with artificial light, but takes around five to ten times longer.
The product has attracted a lot of attention since it won the company a prize at the CTIA Wireless conference in Orlando, Florida at the end of March. “We’ve seen a lot of interest since,” Mr. Deblois says.
Mr. Deblois, who founded Wysips in 2009, came up with the idea for the see-through charger when looking at one of those moving holograms that can show two different images when shifted in the sunlight. He worked two years on the development and his team is currently fine-tuning the final prototype, which should be ready in a few months.
Wysips is in now talks with phone makers, screen manufacturers as well as mobile phone sony Vgp-bps2c battery sony vgp-bps9 battery operators around the world to sell licenses, which will be non-exclusive, says Deblois. He hopes to see the first series of products ready in early 2012, with a commercial launch later that year.
“A large U.S. based operator and a European one have already shown interest,” says the 33-year old trained engineer, declining to say who they are.

To meet the growing demand, Wysips is planning to add around 20 people by the end of the year to its current staff of 15.
And Mr. Deblois is thinking big. Eventually, the technology could be integrated into e-books, tablets and advertising panels and even on boats or cars. “There is no limit,” he says.If what Deblois predicts turns out true—that there will be no more physical mobile phone chargers three or four years from now—we’ll all have a new excuse to go spend an afternoon in the park on a sunny spring day.
