I was able to take advantage of Sun’s ability to charge smartwatches, a dream come true by several manufacturers of these wearables, but the implementation of this technology proved to be very difficult. But Garmin recently received a patent that showed it was capable of doing this, resulting in OLED watch displays can be charged by solar energy.
In the company’s patent documents, she explains that she managed to get around the problems by equipping smartwatches with “energy harvesting displays.” In doing so, it created “photovoltaic regions”. between screen subpixelsthus being able to be charged with solar energy.
