The conception is call Phosphorescence . If you ’ve ever been catch by glow - in - the - dark aesthetics — or , more recently , the“glow - in - the - dour ” Analogue Pocket biz console — this concept would be its loyal rendering on a telephone set . The mind is the brainchild of Kenta and Astrid , who run an architecture house .
“ Using unripened - tinge phosphorescent material finishes , elements of the back of the phone emit a soft glow in the iniquity , ” say the official verbal description . And here is the best part . All that glow is passive . Or , as the company put it , strictly parallel .
All those beautiful glowing strips you see at the back ? Well , they do n’t require any power source . Instead , they absorb sunshine to glow in the iniquity , just like on the Analogue Pocket handheld gaming machine . As for the material , it is probable some kind of photoluminescent charge card sheet , which usually includes inorganic phosphor .
These particles get energized when unaccented falls on them . Nothing observe that the glow could also serve a usable purpose by make it easier to find the phone in dark surroundings . What you see in the range of a function above is not the final pattern , though .
base on manufacture complexities and other calibre considerations , some change could be made before it is widely found after this class . Overall , the troupe received more than 400 entries before it picked Phosphorescence as the win entrance .
Stage 1 of the Community Edition is almost pure .

Personally , I ’d be thrilled if Nothing decide to make a Panda - themed version or that red - dim tone befitting a Sith lord .
