Abstract

See full text

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for integrating a photovoltaic cell with a display device. One innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a display device that includes a first transparent panel and an array of display elements arranged adjacent the first panel. Each display element includes a shutter-based assembly including at least one shutter and at least one actuator capable of translating the shutter to modulate light. The display device also includes a photovoltaic aperture layer arranged adjacent the first panel. The photovoltaic aperture layer includes an array of apertures, each aperture allowing light from a corresponding display element to pass through the photovoltaic aperture layer for display. The display device further includes an array of conductive leads capable of receiving electrical power generated from the photovoltaic aperture layer.
