The most interesting technique described by Apple, however, is the integration of the solar panels behind the actual LCD screen of a portable device. The solar panel would absorb ambient light that passes through the LCD screen of the device. This could eliminate any additional footprint typically required by the solar panels.
The patent application doesn't guarantee that Apple will implement the technology in future handsets or other portable electronics, but If successfully implemented, Apple's iPhone, iPod and laptops, could require no outward changes in design to add solar power.
