Apple patent detailing solar-powered laptop with dual-sided display

AppleInsider reports Apple has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office showing an "electronic device display module" for a laptop that would include the ability to act as a secondary rear display featuring touch controls. The patent also details a photovoltaic system located in the display unit which could power the device with solar energy.
 

This patent was originally filed in 2012 and details a portable computer that would encompass both upper and lower housings, consisting of materials such as glass, carbon fiber, metal and ceramic. The rear housing of the computer will probably feature a logo similar to Apple's current line of MacBooks, but would be made of a patterned ink layer instead of a plastic material.
