A mirror unit includes a mirror element configured to reflect external light entering from a front surface toward the front surface, and a display device configured to show an image. The display device includes a light source configured to emit light, and a light guide element configured to guide incident light from the light source. The light guide element includes an emission surface configured to output incident light, and a plurality of light focusing portions configured to form an image outside the light guide element. The mirror element and the light guide element arranged so that the light focusing portions form an image near the front surface of the mirror element.

A light sensitive display system to form an artistic display is disclosed. The light sensitive display system includes a light permeable member and a reflective surface. The light permeable member further includes a first side and a second side opposed to the first side, at least one of the first side and the second side including a translucent material. Further, the reflective surface is disposed sequentially with respect to the light permeable member. When the light sensitive display system is exposed to a light source, light passes through the light permeable member and reflects from the reflective surface to cause irradiation of the translucent material and diffused transmission of the light through the translucent material, to form an artistic display.

The present disclosure discloses a mirror display apparatus and a corresponding method, the apparatus including a mirror display unit configured both to display an information image and as a mirror, a detection unit configured to detect a first area in the mirror display unit corresponding to a human body in front of the mirror display unit; and a processing unit configured to adjust a position of a second area for displaying an information image in the mirror display unit in response to the detection of the first area by the detection unit, such that the second area is outside the first area.

[Object] To enable to visually recognizing information displayed on an outer circumferential surface of a member from an axial direction of the member and capable of switching selection elements while viewing the device from the axial direction.

[Solution] A rotary switching device includes: a cylindrical first member that includes an outer circumferential surface on which predetermined information is displayed; a second member that is rotatable relative to the first member; a plurality of selection elements among which a selection target is switched in accordance with relative positions of the first member and the second member; a mirror surface part that is formed by a surface disposed around the outer circumferential surface of the first member and intersecting an axial direction of the first member, and that is configured to specularly reflect the information displayed on the outer circumferential surface of the first member to enable the information to be visually recognized from the axial direction of the first member; and an indicating part configured to indicate the selection element that is selected.

A dual-surfaced mirror for a mirror wedge illusion. The dual-surfaced mirror includes a reflective material layer, a thin glass layer overlaying a front surface of the reflective material, a dark mask layer overlaying a back surface of the reflective material, and a thick glass support layer coupled to the dark mask layer.

A light sensitive display system for creating an artistic display is disclosed. The light sensitive display system includes a light permeable member and a reflective surface. The light permeable member includes a first side configured to be exposed to the external source of light and a second side opposed to the first side, and at least a portion of the first side includes a translucent material in the form of an artwork, artistic pattern, or an image. The translucent material is applied to the first side using one or more techniques selected from the group consisting of affixing, printing, painting, and coating. When the light sensitive display system is exposed to the external source of light, light diffuses through the light permeable member and reflects from the reflective surface to cause irradiation of the translucent material and diffused transmission of the light through the translucent material, to create an artistic display.

An infinity mirror includes a light-transmissible and reflective layer, a reflective layer, a light-transmissible layer and at least one light-emitting element. The light-transmissible and reflective layer is disposed on a top surface of the light-transmissible layer. The reflective layer is disposed on a bottom surface of the light-transmissible layer. The at least one light-emitting element emits a light beam. The light-transmissible layer includes a pattern zone and a non-pattern zone. There is a height difference between the pattern zone and the non-pattern zone of the light-transmissible layer. The infinity mirror can provide a multi-mirror image effect.
