The system described in the latest patent makes use of a reflective layer (reflector) that is placed just behind the display. The light from any external source will be directed back on display on the inside for its illumination. The light doesn’t not necessarily have to be sunlight, even light of bulbs can be used. As of now, the technology is applicable for only laptops, but can be expected to be seen in the MacBook screens with solar lighting in the near future.
