System to display a vivid image on solar cells

A system comprising:

• a lenticular waveguide as a lens that directs incident light within a first angular range for absorption and a second angular range toward viewing material;
• the viewing material is printed within sections of the lenticular waveguide and forms an image;
• reflective components that are printed adjacent to the viewing material within the sections of the lenticular waveguide, the reflective components proximate to the lenticular waveguide away from the incident light and reflect the incident light within the second angular range that illuminates the image, and the reflective components are absent outside the sections;
• and
• an absorption component that captures energy from the incident light, the absorption component attached to the lenticular waveguide and the reflective components.

A system comprising:

• a lenticular waveguide as a lens that directs incident light within a first angular range for absorption and a second angular range toward viewing material;
• transparent pixels that are directly printed within grooves of the lenticular waveguide and form an image;
• reflective components that are directly printed adjacent to the transparent pixels within the grooves of the lenticular waveguide, the reflective components proximate to ends of the lenticular waveguide away from the incident light and reflect the incident light within the second angular range that illuminates the transparent pixels, and the reflective components are absent outside the grooves;
• and
• solar cells that capture energy from the incident light, the solar cells directly attached to the lenticular waveguide and the reflective components.
