Abstract
An electronic device comprises a housing, a display stack, a solar cell, a first antenna and a second antenna. The housing includes a bottom wall and a side wall coupled to the bottom wall, the side wall and the bottom wall define a portion of an internal cavity. The display stack includes a solar cell configured to output electric power having a power level corresponding to an intensity of light received by the solar cell. The solar cell includes a substrate layer and a photovoltaic layer, the photovoltaic layer including a first region having an annular shape and a first opening in the first region and a second region in an area enclosed by the first region and having a second opening. The first antenna is formed by the first opening and the second antenna is formed by the second opening.
