Patent attributes
Techniques for charging electronic devices are presented. A charger controller component controls supplying power to an electronic device having a solar cell component using optical charging. The charger controller component detects a shape and position of the electronic device located on a charger substrate component. The charger controller component identifies a subset of a plurality of light sources associated with the charger substrate component that correspond to the shape and position of the electronic device, and controls illumination of the light sources to illuminate the subset of light sources. The illumination of the subset of light sources provides optical waves to the electronic device that are converted to electrical energy to charge a power component of the electronic device. An optical processing element can employ an array of lenticular lens or microlens that can expand coverage of each light source and enhance uniformity of the illuminated area.
