Design Around Solar Cell

In the previous article, we checked the usability of the solar cell module equipped in the Solar Phone SH002, which KDDI released as one of its summer 2009 models of the au brand mobile phones. Then, we moved on to break down the display unit incorporating the solar cell module.
The SH002 features waterproof property that complies with IPX5/IPX7 standards. Therefore, we expected that it would be more difficult to disassemble the handset compared with other mobile phones. The display unit is composed without screws, and its cover is attached by using double-faced tape. We inserted a flat-blade screwdriver between the chassis and the cover to remove the cover and check the solar cell module. Next, we began to take out the solar cell module, which was fixed on the frame together with 1.1-inch black-and-white electronic paper. On the back of the module, there were electrodes probably for grounding, and they were connected to metal part on the back side of the frame. The module might produce electromagnetic noise.
