BASF And Philips Develop Solar Powered OLED Sun Roof
BASF and Philips have developed a new prototype solar powered sunroof designed for cars, the technology has been developed using OLED panels which have been combines with transparent solar cells.
The idea is that the sunroof will let in light during the days and
also charges the solar cells at the same time, and at night time the
panels turn into a light and are powered by the electricity which was
stored earlier.
"This combination allows the driver to enjoy a unique open-space
feeling while it generates electricity during the day and pleasantly
suffuses the interior with the warm light of the transparent, highly
efficient OLEDs at night,” said Dr. Felix Görth, head of Organic
Light-Emitting Diodes and Organic Photovoltaics at BASF Future Business GmbH.
It certainly sound interesting, and we wonder how this technology
will be integrated into our future cars, you can find out more details
about the technology over at BASF.
