Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided an electrical-energy harvester for a display panel, the harvester comprising: a transparent and flexible lower electrode; a transparent and flexible piezoelectric layer on the lower electrode; reflective particles dispersed in the piezoelectric layer for reflecting light beams incident into the piezoelectric layer; a transparent and flexible upper electrode on the piezoelectric layer, wherein the upper and lower electrodes are opposite to each other; and at least one solar cell disposed on at least one lateral side of the piezoelectric layer, wherein at least one solar cell is configured to receive the light beam reflected from the reflective particles and, thus, to generate electrical energy.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electrical-energy harvester for a display panel, the harvester comprising: a transparent and flexible lower electrode; a transparent and flexible piezoelectric layer on the lower electrode; reflective particles dispersed in the piezoelectric layer for reflecting light beams incident into the piezoelectric layer; a transparent and flexible upper electrode on the piezoelectric layer, wherein the upper and lower electrodes are opposite to each other; and at least one solar cell disposed on at least one lateral side of the piezoelectric layer, wherein at least one solar cell is configured to receive the light beam reflected from the reflective particles and, thus, to generate electrical energy. 2. The harvester of claim 1 , wherein the electrical-energy harvester is disposed on a surface of the display panel surface. 3. The harvester of claim 1 , wherein the reflective particles comprise: at least two rows of first reflective particles regularly arranged in a parallel direction to a length direction of the piezoelectric layer; and at least two rows of second reflective particles regularly arranged in a parallel direction to a length direction of the piezoelectric layer, wherein the second reflective particles are disposed between the first reflective particles. 4. The harvester of claim 2 , further comprising: a first leading line electrically coupled to the solar cell; and a second leading line electrically coupled to the lower electrode and upper electrode. 5. The harvester of claim 4 , wherein the first leading line and second leading is electrically coupled to the display panel. 6. The harvester of claim 1 , wherein each of the reflective particles is formed of a sphere or faceted sphere. 7. The harvester of claim 1 , wherein the reflective particles is regularly arranged in a staggered manner.
