1. A self-powered display device, comprising:
a display module, comprising a front side and a rear side, wherein the front side is a display surface; and
a power module, positioned on the rear side of the display module and electrically connected to the display module, and comprising multiple active and inactive surfaces distributed alternately;
wherein a visual color difference (ΔE) between the inactive surfaces and the active surfaces is within a maximum of 10 color difference units, and the visual color difference (ΔE) is defined within the framework of the CIELAB color space, as established by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976;
wherein the display module is a cholesteric liquid crystal display module, while the power module is a solar cell module, and the cholesteric liquid crystal display module enables the transmission of light beams to the solar cell module through its front side, the solar cell module subsequently receives the light beams and convert the light beams into electricity to supply necessary energy for the cholesteric liquid crystal display module to exhibit a minimum of one image; and
wherein each of the active surfaces is a solar cell sheet, each of the inactive surfaces is a busbar, the busbars function as metal electrodes within the solar cell module and facilitate external circuit connections, and a shielding layer is provided on surfaces of the busbars, and the visual color difference (ΔE) between the inactive surfaces of the busbars and the active surfaces of the solar cell sheets as observed from a direction towards the display module does not exceed a limit of 10 color difference units.
