Multi-zone display with transparency compensation

A method of manufacturing an optical device, the method comprising:

• creating a stacked device, formed in an active area of a single semiconductor chip, configured to be coupled in an overlapping fashion to an underlying device, the underlying device configured provide output light in a first spectrum, creating the stacked device comprising:
• creating a first zone by:
• creating a first plurality of active elements having a first lateral size;
• and
• creating a first plurality of transparent regions formed in the stacked device which are transparent to the light in the first spectrum to allow light in the first spectrum to pass through from the underlying device, the first plurality of transparent regions being configured in size and shape to cause the first zone to have a first transmission efficiency for light in the first spectrum;
• and
• creating a second zone by:
• creating a plurality of non-active, native silicon islands;
• and
• creating a second plurality of transparent regions formed in the stacked device which are transparent to the light in the first spectrum to allow light in the first spectrum to pass through from the underlying device, the second plurality of transparent regions being configured in size and shape to cause the second zone to have a second transmission efficiency for light in the first spectrum.

A method of using an optical device, the method comprising:

• using a stacked device, formed in an active area of a single semiconductor chip, coupled in an overlapping fashion to an underlying device, the underlying device configured provide output light in a first spectrum;
• using the stacked device comprising:
• using a first zone to:
• operate a first plurality of active elements having a first lateral size;
• and
• transmit light at a first transmission efficiency using a first plurality of transparent regions formed in the stacked device which are transparent to the light in the first spectrum to allow light in the first spectrum to pass through from the underlying device, the first plurality of transparent regions being configured in size and shape to cause the first zone to have the first transmission efficiency for light in the first spectrum;
• and
• using a second zone to:
• transmit light at a second transmission efficiency using a plurality of non-active, native silicon islands and a second plurality of transparent regions formed in the stacked device which are transparent to the light in the first spectrum to allow light in the first spectrum to pass through from the underlying device, the second plurality of transparent regions being configured in size and shape to cause the second zone to have the second transmission efficiency for light in the first spectrum.
