This Wednesday, Taiwan’s AU Optronics released details on its own solar keyboard solution. According to reports, AUO’s version is essentially a solar sheet, measuring 2.1 millimeters thick with touch sensitivity. Aesthetically, it looks like the complete fusion of a solar panel and keyboard. The surface is perfectly smooth and somewhat reflective, like a solar panel, with only the hint of a keyboard’s outline.
Similar to Logitech’s K750, the AUO version promises to charge in natural and artificial light. However, unlike Logitech’s freestanding model, AUO’s 14-inch touch keyboard will be built into computer manufacturers’ laptop sets.
AUO will showcase demo models of its solar contraption next week during FPD International in Chiba, Japan.
