serious hardware hack: capacitive and\or OLED screen

[julienrl]

Does anyone know if there are any capacitive or oled screens that meet the design specs of the mogul's screen? my goal would be to make battery life longer with a more efficient screen but also to (hopefully) make the screen more responsive. Now here comes the crazy part (because this was not right?) I need a screen (and i include the whole back light plate in this) that is at least 0.2mm thinner than the original screen as I would put a flexible solar panel behind the screen to recuperate wasted light to trickle charge my battery (already working on a case mod that would do the same with ambient light).

Thanks!

lol....it's the only thing i can say after reading that post

lol I know that the capacitive screen is next to impossible due to drivers and such... but I am serious about the solar panel behind my screen. I read about the idea years ago and I have never seen it done... so I will do it myself!

Doing something like this is about as realistic as the concept of adding more RAM ... its not economically feasible. The amount of time/effort/cost you would incur would be far in excess of simply buying a better/newer phone.

Now if you're simply trying to do it for the "fun" part of messing around with a gizmo, without caring about the energy and cost spent, who knows.

Only thing about the solar panel behind the lcd is that most lcd have a mirrored plastic backing. You have to remove this from the lcd for sun light to get to the solar panel and in doing so would make your screen very dark. So not feasible.

I wanted to reuse the light that seeps in the back, but if a miror is used to intensify brightness then you are right, this would be useless... I do not know why I had not thought of that... I have dismantled a few lcd screens in the past, I had just never thought of the use of the reflective surface... ok well I guess thats the end of this crazy attempt.

If anyone has any ideas of hardware hack, let me know!

Hardware hacks attempted\contemplated to date:
-change lcd to a better\more efficient one : abandoned
-change backplate for a solar panel : ongoing
-add RFID mastecard chip : failed but looking for other solutions (chip keeps being wrecked when I try to remove it from the plastic using conventional methods such as acetone)
