Solar Energy Harvesting with LED-Based Displays
Summary
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a methodology to harvest solar energy or energy from other light sources using light emitting diode electronic displays. These displays can be used as solar cells to harvest solar energy and convert it to electricity when not being used to display information. Currently, there are devices that display information and devices that harvest solar energy, but no single device that combines both functions.
