VPC hybrid capacitors from VINATech replace batteries

Posted 15 April 2022

VINATech has announced that its VPC (Vina Pulse Capacitor) hybrid capacitors are being used in the new 2022 eco-friendly solar cell TV remote control for Samsung Electronics’ recently-launched Neo QLED TV. This is the first time that a hybrid capacitor has completely replaced the battery as the main power source in a TV remote control.

Samsung’s new Eco Remote uses the VINATech VPC hybrid capacitor and energy-harvesting technology. This enables charging to take place even in the dark. VPC is a high power density, eco-friendly hybrid capacitor has been developed by VINATech’s R&D team. A VPC hybrid capacitor combines the advantages of supercapacitors and batteries by using different materials for both electrodes.

VPCs have an energy density that is about 10 times higher than a supercapacitor of the same size. VPCs also retain the advantages of supercapacitors, such as a faster charging and discharging speed than batteries, and the ability to operate in a wide temperature range from -25 to 85ºC. In addition, unlike batteries, there is no risk of fire or explosion with a VPC.

VPCs are also optimized for eco-friendliness because they have a charging/discharging lifespan of more than 50,000 cycles.
