GPEG has recently completed its first 100% solar powered LCD display systems.

Operating without the need for external power sources, SolarLCD™ works in combination with low cost solar panels, ultra-low power custom microcontrollers and special low voltage LC fluids to create novel and highly customisable display systems.

In the first such design a segmented transparent glass panel with interchangeable printed graphics was developed for the corporate gift market. Small enough to fit into the barrel of a pen the unit is 100% battery free, and is used to reveal branded logo’s in a variety of sequences. Built with low cost as well as low power in mind we expect significant interest from consumer application designers.

We can re-use the same SolarLCD™ technology on larger displays that can incorporate digital and even graphical information. The fundamental technology is scaleable and quite inexpensive to develop around - our designers can’t wait to tackle the next challenge!
