Photovoltaic display module in a mobile GPS

We have developed a mobile global positioning system (GPS) that operates on just photovoltaic (PV) cells. The system receives wireless signals from satellites and shows one's present location accurately on a map without the need for a battery. A PV display module, which combines a transparent LCD with a-Si PV cells and has a power generation function, is added to ordinary PV cells to increase the total amount of power generated. The PV display module enables 40% more power generation than a system without the module.
