Move aside Logitech, there&'s another solar keyboard in town.

Earlier this week, Logitech introduced the K750, an $80 wireless, solar-powered keyboard made of recyclable plastic and billed as the world&'s first solar keyboard. The K750 may be first but it certainly won&'t be the last.

This Wednesday, Taiwan&'s AU Optronics released details on its own solar keyboard solution. According to reports, AUO&'s version is essentially a solar sheet, measuring 2.1 millimeters thick with touch sensitivity. Aesthetically, it looks like the complete fusion of a solar panel and keyboard. The surface is perfectly smooth and somewhat reflective, like a solar panel, with only the hint of a keyboard&'s outline.

Similar to Logitech&'s K750, the AUO version promises to charge in natural and artificial light. However, unlike Logitech&'s freestanding model, AUO&'s 14-inch touch keyboard will be built into computer manufacturers&' laptop sets.

AUO will showcase demo models of its solar contraption next week during FPD International in Chiba, Japan.
