Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd developed a wireless power transmission technology that drastically improves the power transmission efficiency (power efficiency) of an entire system.
The technology realizes a power efficiency (from a direct-current voltage to a load via a wireless zone) 20 to 30 points higher than traditional technologies. For example, when a power of about 75W is directly supplied from a direct current power source to a load several tens of centimeters away, it is possible to transmit power with a power efficiency of 70% or higher.
