[IFA 2026] ChasingLight Receives IFA's Highest Distinction as OPV Low-Light Energy Harvesting Technology Takes Center Stage

Honored with the Highest Distinction at the IFA Innovation Award 2026

The award ceremony was held at the IFA Innovation Stage, where the judging panel highlighted Chasing Light's technological breakthroughs and commercialization capabilities in low-light energy harvesting. The judges also recognized the outstanding performance of its Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology in low-illuminance indoor environments, as well as its innovative applications across consumer and IoT devices.

The IFA Innovation Award is one of the most prestigious and trusted honors in the global consumer electronics and smart technology industry. Presented in conjunction with the century-old IFA Berlin trade show, the award recognizes outstanding technological innovation and product excellence. It serves not only as a strong endorsement of a company's technical capabilities and innovation, but also as an important milestone in its global market presence.

IFA 2026 Innovation Award

At IFA 2026, Chasing Light's Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology stood out among a wide range of next-generation innovations, including robotics and other emerging technologies. It ultimately received the Winner Award—the highest distinction in the Best in IFA Next & Emerging Tech category—further underscoring the company's leadership in OPV innovation on the global stage.

This recognition also reflects the growing demand for more sustainable power solutions in Europe. As consumer electronics and smart home devices become an integral part of everyday life, many products still rely on disposable batteries or frequent recharging—creating ongoing challenges in terms of convenience, maintenance, and environmental impact.

By focusing on real-world consumer IoT applications, Chasing Light has developed OPV-powered solutions that address key market priorities. From product safety and industrial design to long-lasting operation, Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology is gaining increasing recognition in international markets for its unique advantages.

Key benefits of OPV-powered solutions include:

• Enhanced Safety: OPV contains no toxic heavy metals, helping minimize environmental and safety risks.

• Design Flexibility: Its ultra-thin and flexible form factor enables sleeker, more contemporary product designs.

• Long-Lasting Self-Powered Operation: By harvesting ambient light, OPV provides continuous, self-sustaining power that significantly reduces reliance on disposable batteries.

Combining aesthetics, safety, and long-lasting performance, OPV-powered solutions are emerging as an ideal low-carbon energy solution for the next generation of consumer IoT devices.

OPV-Powered, Zero-Carbon Energy
Enabling a Battery-Free Consumer IoT Experience

During IFA 2026, Chasing Light showcased three commercially available products powered by Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology, drawing significant attention from visitors throughout the exhibition.

OPV-Powered Drawing Tablet
Combining Long-Lasting Performance with Minimalist Design

Leveraging the flexible and ultra-thin characteristics of Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) technology, the drawing tablet features a slim wedge-shaped profile and narrow-bezel design, delivering a lightweight form factor with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. While maintaining its ultra-thin design, the device enables self-powered operation without the need for charging, meeting the demands of illustrators and other creative professionals for both refined industrial design and long-lasting performance.

OPV-Powered Night Light
Designed for Ultra-Low-Light Environments

Powered by Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) low-light energy harvesting technology, the night light continuously harvests ambient light in dim environments such as bedrooms and hallways, enabling automatic illumination when needed at night. Its minimalist design, combined with self-powered operation, allows it to blend seamlessly into modern living spaces while reducing reliance on disposable batteries and supporting a more sustainable, low-carbon lifestyle.

OPV-Powered Remote Control
Safe by Design, Comfortable to the Touch

Eliminating the need for disposable batteries, the OPV-powered remote control continuously harvests energy from indoor ambient light, enabling long-term operation without battery replacement and reducing battery waste.

OPV technology contains no toxic heavy metals, enhancing product safety even in the event of accidental drops or damage. Designed for everyday use, it offers a safer and more environmentally responsible alternative to conventional battery-powered remote controls.

The booth also featured application demonstrations of OPV power modules integrated into consumer IoT devices, including temperature and humidity sensors and electronic tags. Visitors experienced firsthand how OPV technology enables self-powered, battery replacement-free devices, bringing sustainable energy solutions closer to everyday life.

As consumer IoT devices continue to evolve toward battery-free operation, miniaturization, and maintenance-free design, OPV technology offers a compelling combination of low-light energy harvesting, an ultra-thin and flexible form factor, low-carbon sustainability, and a service life of up to 10 years. Together, these advantages create new possibilities for both product performance and industrial design.

Looking ahead, Chasing Light will continue to advance its OPV technology to deliver long-lasting, low-carbon self-powered solutions for IoT devices. By reducing reliance on conventional batteries, the company aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy solutions across a broader range of everyday applications.
