Abstract
A laminate panel (201) for wireless capacitive power transfer includes a clear protective top layer (206), a photographic layer (205) under the protective top layer (206), a conductive layer (202) under the photographic layer (205), and an inner core layer (203) under the conductive layer (202). One or more conductive layers in the laminate panels form a pair of transmitter electrodes, which couple to a power driver (110).
