DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING A HIGHLY REFLECTIVE FRONT-FACING SURFACE

摘要

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for mirror displays. In one aspect, a mirror display can include a front transparent substrate, a rear transparent substrate, and a plurality of display elements between the front transparent substrate and the rear transparent substrate. A first light-blocking layer can be on a rear surface of the front transparent substrate. The first light blocking layer can have a reflectance of at least about 50%. A plurality of apertures can be formed through the first light-blocking layer. Each aperture can correspond to a respective one of the plurality of display elements. The total area of the apertures can account for less than about 50% of the area of the image-rendering region.

1. A mirror display comprising:
a first transparent substrate; a backlight on a first side of the first transparent substrate; a second transparent substrate on a second side of the first transparent substrate: a plurality of display elements within an image-rendering region between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate; a first light-blocking layer on a surface of the second transparent substrate nearest to the backlight, wherein the first light-blocking layer has a reflectance of at least about 50%; and a plurality of apertures formed through the first light-blocking layer, each aperture corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of display elements, wherein the total area of the apertures accounts for less than about 50% of the area of the image-rendering region.
