Systems and methods for presenting images on mirrored displays are provided. A cover layer having a surface area is positioned in front of an electronic display having a viewing area. A reflective material is located at the cover layer and is less than fully reflective where the cover layer is located above the viewing area. The mirrored display is configured to operate in a low power mode until a sensor detects a person proximate to the mirrored display and then operate in a normal power mode.

A system for simultaneously producing immersive visual effects on an inside of an enclosure and passive visual effects to be viewed from the outside of the enclosure. The enclosure includes a plurality of sidewalls each having a reflective inner surface facing one other. The system includes a digital video display positioned to direct digital video imagery through the semi-reflective sidewall and into the enclosure. Light of the digital video imagery reflects off the reflective inner surfaces of plurality of sidewalls, which allow a percentage of the light to leave the enclosure, making the visual effects observable from the outside. The light will continue this cycle of reflection and transmission, creating an observable infinity effect from the outside, and an entirely enclosed visual experience from the inside.

A display device includes a display plate, a micro light source, a first reflecting element and a second reflecting element. The display plate has a pattern. The micro light source emits a light beam. The first reflecting element is arranged beside a first side of the display plate. A first portion of the light beam is reflected by the first reflecting element. A second portion of the light beam is transmitted through the first reflecting element. The second reflecting element is arranged beside a second side of the display plate to reflect the light beam. The light beam is repeatedly reflected by the first reflecting element and the second reflecting element, so that a multiple-luminous effect of the pattern is provided.

A display medium displays a predetermined number of contents corresponding to a predetermined number of azimuth angles when viewed from a predetermined elevation angle and azimuth angle. An example display medium includes: a planar member that reflects light; and a plurality of protruding members, each protruding member of the plurality of protruding members has a surface occluding the light, placed vertically on the planar member and parallel to each of the predetermined number of azimuth angles. The planar member is partitioned into a plurality of unit cells, where each unit cell is further partitioned into the predetermined number of sub-cells corresponding to the predetermined number of azimuth angles. The protruding member that has the surface parallel to the predetermined azimuth angle is formed for each sub-cell corresponding to the predetermined azimuth angle.
