Abstract
Energy-collecting display modules are disclosed. The modules include a base substrate with a plurality of sub-pixels, which are laid out in a substantially regular sub-pixel pattern. The sub-pixels are dispersed along the base substrate with sub-pixel spacing regions between individual sub-pixels. The modules also include a top substrate disposed opposite to and above the base substrate and a photovoltaic region disposed between the base substrate and the top substrate within the sub-pixel spacing regions.
