NOVELTY - Multiple photovoltaic elements (20) are distributed over a backplane substrate (10). The display elements (30) are distributed over the backplane substrate between the photovoltaic elements. An optical element (40) is positioned over the backplane substrate, the photovoltaic elements, and the display elements. The optical element concentrates incident light propagating in a direction parallel to an optical axis onto the photovoltaic elements. The optical element directs light reflected or emitted from the display elements in a direction that is not parallel to the optical axis.    USE - Concentrated photovoltaic and display apparatus or concentrated photovoltaic and display system for industrial scale power generating utility.    ADVANTAGE - A high-performance, efficient photovoltaic device and a display element on the same backplane can be provided. Using densely populated active substrates and transferring active components to a backplane substrate that requires only a sparse array of active components located thereon does not waste or require active layer material on a backplane substrate. The photovoltaic and display apparatus is also useful in transferring active components made with crystalline semiconductor materials that have much higher performance. The flatness, smoothness, chemical stability, and heat stability requirements for a backplane substrate useful in the photovoltaic and display apparatus are greatly reduced because the adhesion and transfer process is not significantly limited by the backplane substrate material properties. Manufacturing and material costs are reduced because of high utilization rates of expensive materials e.g. the active substrate, and reduced material and processing requirements for the backplane substrate. The display element can be used to improve the visual appearance of the apparatus, to camouflage the apparatus, and/or to communicate information. The communication can be passive and fixed or active and controlled to change over time. Different communications can be directed in different directions.
