Samsung develops solar watch straps, Galaxy Watch will have longer battery life

Earlier this year, Samsung launched a QLED smart TV remote control. This remote control is special and can be charged using indoor light, outdoor light or USB. The solar technology used in the device has also attracted the attention of many consumers. Earlier on, bloggers discussed whether this solar technology is suitable for other low-power devices. Recently, Samsung gave the answer.

According to reports from foreign media LetsGoDigital, US patents and trademarks The Office (USPTO) announced on September 16 a patent application submitted by Samsung as early as 2019. The title of the patent is “Electronic Device Composed of Various Types of Solar Cells” and it has 22 pages.

Described in the patent Created a Samsung Galaxy Watch with a solar strap. Two solar cells are placed in the strap, on both sides of the watch case. And in the product renderings made by LetsGoDigital, you can see that there is a honeycomb structure in the position of the solar cell, but you can’t see it in real products.

It is worth mentioning that the patent does not specify the efficiency of the system, but it is guessed that Samsung’s idea is to collect enough sunlight by placing solar cells on both sides of the watch case, no matter how you wear the watch. Samsung hopes to use a polymer with quantum dots to change the light path and use several solar cells that can perform photoelectric conversion. The solar cell captures the light passing through the polymer and then converts the light into electricity. Even if their power is not enough to fully power them, they can also play a role in providing auxiliary power.

Although Samsung has not stated that the patent will come true, Samsung has sufficient experience in the field of solar energy technology and the application of quantum dots. Perhaps in the near future, a solar energy can be used. A powered Galaxy smart watch will appear in front of us.
