A smart-mirror device capable of controlling a remote mobile device based on a screen that is cast from the mobile device and displayed in a touch-screen mirror of the smart-mirror device. The touch-screen mirror can include a display area that functions as a touch screen. In an embodiment, a user can initiate a screen-mirroring process to cast the screen of the mobile device to a screen-mirroring area arranged within the display area of the touch-screen mirror. The user can then interact with the screen-mirroring area while viewing the screen that is cast from the mobile device. Converted position information of the user's touches can be transmitted to the mobile device, for example, through a Bluetooth human interface device (HID) configured at the smart-mirror device or by using any other wireless transmission protocols and technologies.

The invention comprises a hands-free, adjustable telescoping magnifying mirror. The mirror may have a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface and can be secured to a horizontal or vertical surface using a suction cup base or can be hung over a door or ledge using a retractable hanger bracket. A multi-stage telescoping rod is attached to the suction cup base and a swivel joint may be used to connect the telescoping rod to the mirror housing. The mirror may be extended from the base by extending the telescoping rod and the mirror assembly can stand freely without falling over, whether the suction cup base is engaged or not. Additionally, one or more light sources with diffuser screen may be disposed at a periphery of the first reflective surface or second reflective surface.

A mirror apparatus that includes a mirror that is at least partially covered by a decorative door that is movable away from the mirror so that the mirror can be cleaned. The mirror apparatus includes a frame having an inner surface that defines a display opening. The mirror which is coupled to the frame may have a reflective front surface that is exposed within the display opening. The decorative door may be pivotably coupled to the frame between a closed state whereby the decorative door overlies the mirror and an open state whereby the decorative door does not overlie the mirror. In the open state, the mirror is completely exposed for cleaning. The mirror apparatus may also include a locking assembly for locking the decorative door in the closed state.

A planar display assembly is provided with a planar display pane. A frame is provided with a dado sized to receive the planar display pane. A plurality of retainers mounts to the frame about an inner periphery of the frame to retain the planar display pane within the frame. At least one of the plurality of retainers is elastically deformable to deform during installation of the planar display into the frame, and to expand to retain the planar display pane within the frame. A plurality of apertures or a channel may be formed in the frame about the dado. The plurality of retainers may mount to the frame within the plurality of apertures or the channel of the frame to retain the planar display pane within the frame.
