Abstract
A passenger seat is wirelessly powered. A combination of solid-state battery technology, photovoltaics, and LED arrays provide electrical power to an interactive display in a wireless power system. The LED arrays include redundant LEDs which are selected based on seat position and wireless feedback. The system uses solar window energy to offset the power requirements of the arrays, making the wireless power system more green or renewable. The LED arrays provides power when the solar window energy is unavailable, enabling robust power availability.
