Systems and methods for indirectly applying solar material to form a device displaying vivid images

A system comprising:

• a lenticular lens that directs incident light within a first angular range for absorption and a second angular range for displaying an image;
• viewing material applied to a substrate within predetermined areas, the viewing material forms an image;
• absorption components applied to the substrate, the absorption components being located outside the predetermined areas and the image being visible at the second angular range, the absorption components capturing energy from the incident light within the first angular range, and the absorption components being hidden at the second angular range;
• and
• the substrate being bonded to the lenticular lens using a bonding material.

A method comprising:

• applying viewing material by a printer to a substrate within predetermined areas, the viewing material forming an image;
• applying by the printer solar ink directly to the substrate, the solar ink being located outside the predetermined areas, the solar ink capturing energy from incident light within a first angular range, and the solar ink being hidden at a second angular range;
• and
• bonding the substrate to a lenticular lens with a bonding material, the lenticular lens directing the incident light within the first angular range for absorption and the second angular range for displaying the image.
