Abstract
A transparent capacitive powering system () is disclosed. The system comprises a pair of receiver electrodes () connected to a load () through an inductor (), wherein the inductor is coupled to the load to resonate the system; and a transparent infrastructure () having at least a first layer () of a non-conductive transparent material and a second layer () of a conductive transparent material coupled to each other, wherein the second layer is arranged to form a pair of transmitter electrodes (), wherein the pair of receiver electrodes are decoupled from the second layer, thereby forming a capacitive impedance between the pair of transmitter electrodes and the pair of receiver electrodes, wherein a power signal generated by a driver () is wirelessly transferred from the pair of transmitter electrodes to the pair of receiver electrodes to power the load when a frequency of the power signal substantially matches a series-resonance frequency of the first inductor and the capacitive impedance.
