A network of photovoltaic strips positioned in front of an image causes a decrease in the luminosity of said image, which is not uniform for all of the colours and causes an optical moir phenomenon that is perceived by the observer when they change their viewing angle. In order to rectify said decrease in visual quality of the image, the invention describes a suitable positioning and dimension of the photovoltaic strips in relation to the inter-pixels of the image.

The opening trenches of the high transmittance thin film solar panel are formed in a manner of curve shape by an oscillating laser head, and can enhance the transmittance by more than about 3% in comparison with the conventional one.

A solar panel is provided on a visible side of a display panel and includes a transmissive area, a power generator and an anti-reflector. The transmissive area transmits light. The power generator generates electric power from light. The anti-reflector is provided on a display-panel-facing surface of the power generator to prevent reflection of light on the power generator. The display-panel-facing surface of the power generator faces the display panel. The light, the reflection of which is prevented by the anti-reflector, is among light having passed through the transmissive area and been reflected by the display panel.
