Talk about long battery life with a system like this. If displays keep getting more efficient, then we may see devices that we never have to plug in. 

My main problem with it having to be on the bezel is that I would prefer a tablet with no bezel at all, just screen and barely a millimeter of bezel perhaps around it to keep things together. But for as long as bezels are required I think it would be awesome if solar panels can be cut up to any shape and thus be able to fit into any bezel size or shape.

I wonder if the solar bezel can be matte, as I heard from Pixel Qi that consumers prefer matte bezels as the glossy bezel is just as frustrating with reflected light as glossy screens are.

Otherwise I also like the idea of the screen protector to be a solar panel that can thus be flipped out or be nicely slotted behind the tablet, while not interfering with the built-in kick-stand. Lots of things to consider.

The cool thing is if 1W compact solar panel area only costs $3 in Bill of Materials, then it’s going to be awesome if basically all consumer electronic surfaces that are not the screen are going to be made of that.

You won’t cover all bezel surface, so there should always be enough free bezel surface to power the tablet. And when you don’t use it, there will still be charging your battery, so there will be no problem if there is not enough power input for several hours.

Even if Pixel Qi display tech is awesome, I beliave that amoled oled displays will be main-stream technology in 2-4 years in most Smartphones and tablet pc and larger tablet pc.

Pixel Qi will be main-stream display technology beside Mirasoldisplay in e-book readers.
