The gadget that makes sure your phone is ALWAYS charged: Light-powered screen could mean mobiles never run out of battery

               Wysips crystal technology converts artificial light and solar power into electricity that can be used to keep a phone permanently charged.
There is already technology that will can save your phone's location if its battery dies or can send text messages after the power has gone, but what if you could buy a phone that never lost power again because it was permanently on charge? 
It sounds too good to be true but that's the idea behind a revolutionary technology called Wysips that converts energy from both artificial light and sunshine into electricity that can be used to keep your mobile alive. 
It uses light-collecting crystals that can be fitted beneath or on top of the screens of phones, tablets and even smartwatches, and early prototypes have been able to convert 10 minutes of light exposure into four minutes of extra battery life
French manufacturer SunPartner Group is working on extending this conversion rate and has now signed a deal that will see the technology used in future handsets.
SunPartner specialises in solar NETs (New Energy Technologies) and Wysips stands for What You See Is Photovoltaic Surface. 
Photovoltaic technology converts solar radiation into electricity and semiconductors.
