A color display and solar cell device ( 100, 300, 500 ), and methods for fabricating and operating the device. The device ( 100, 300, 500 ) includes a transparent light source ( 140, 340, 540 ) located behind a liquid crystal display ( 105, 305, 505 ) that includes a switchable transflector layer ( 145, 345, 545 ). In a first embodiment, the liquid crystal display ( 105 ) also includes a tri-color pixelized filter ( 115 ), the switchable transflector ( 145 ) is a switchable broadband transflector, and the transparent light source ( 140 ) is a white light source. In a second embodiment, the switchable transflector layer ( 345 ) is a tri-color selectable transflector and the transparent light source ( 340 ) is a tri-color selectable light source. In a third embodiment, the switchable transflector layer is a switchable broadband transflector and the transparent light source is a tri-color selectable light source. In a fourth embodiment, the switchable transflector layer ( 545 ) is a switchable pixelized tri-color transflector and the transparent light source ( 540 ) is a tri-color selectable light source.
