SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TRANSPARENT PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR CELLS AS TOUCH SCREEN SENSORS AND SOLAR ENERGY SOURCES

摘要

A method of creating a touch sensitive surface comprising detecting a voltage change in a light sensitive voltage generating device from among an array of light sensitive voltage generating devices that comprise a touch sensitive surface, in response to a lack of energy within a non-visible light spectrum reaching the light sensitive voltage generating device when a user contacts the touch sensitive surface, generating one or more location coordinates corresponding to a location in the array at which the voltage change occurred, and transmitting the one or more location coordinates to a processor configured to process a touch command received by the touch sensitive surface.
