A new generation of MacBook is soon to be born as US Patent and Trademark Office awarded Apple Company their very own ‘Electronic Device Display Module’. Not only will users of MacBook be pleased and thrilled about this new innovation of Apple, but also environmentalists who are fighting and campaigning to save the Earth.
Described as a two-sided display, the new MacBook will have the usual front display screen but with a very high-end rear plate. The rear plate would be possibly made of electrochromic glass or smart glass that can either allow or block light transmission. More than that, once the smart glass is activated, it will change from transparent to translucent. It may also have different layers such as touch-sensitive controls for manipulating items on-screen and photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are a major component in the new MacBook for their ability to convert solar light into electrical power.
The sun powered MacBook will also solve problems of people working in remote areas where there is no AC outlet. These people often rely on SMS messages as their means of communication with their heads or companies. They also record data manually or if they have a laptop with them, although laptop usage is limited to save up battery. In addition, this new innovation will also work great for people who create documentary films as their equipments must be charged up always to capture every single moment of their subject.
Truly, Apple is undeniably superior in new inventions when it comes to technology. The company does not only cater to high-profile markets but also to all. However, expect that the new MacBook will be expensive as solar panels are also expensive. Maybe, there will be some changes in its interface and overall function, but, we will see if Apple will be true to its claims. Users just need to expect that there will be changes and hopefully those changes are for the better.
The patent was filed in 2010 and was approved by US PTO year 2013.
