发明名称 Emissive display blended with diffuse reflection
摘要 An apparatus providing a viewer with a blend of displayed and reflected content. The apparatus includes an emissive display device with a display screen operable providing digital content. The emissive display device includes a light source selectively articulating and transmitting light through the display screen at a particular illumination level to display digital content such as text and graphics. The apparatus includes a thematic overlay positioned over the display screen with a front surface configured to provide diffuse reflection of light striking the front surface from a viewer space such that the front surface appears substantially opaque to the viewer and the viewer cannot see the display screen when the light source is inactive or at low brightness. When the light source is in active mode, the displayed content is visible as emissive display content concurrently with the diffuse reflection content but the display screen remains hidden from view.

主权项 1. An apparatus for displaying content to a viewer in a viewer space, comprising: an emissive display device with a display screen providing digital content and a light source for selectively articulating and transmitting light through the display screen such that the digital content is visible as displayed content on a surface of the display screen at an illumination level; and a thematic overlay positioned over the display screen, wherein the thematic overlay includes a rear surface facing the display screen and a front surface, opposite the rear surface, that is configured to provide diffuse reflection of light striking the front surface from the viewer space such that the front surface appears substantially opaque to the viewer, wherein the light source is first operated in an inactive mode and wherein the display screen is blocked from view by the viewer by the thematic overlay, wherein the light source is second operated in an active mode to transmit the light through the display screen, wherein, in the active mode, the displayed content is transmitted through the thematic overlay as emissive display content, wherein the light reflected by the front surface is visible by the viewer as diffuse reflection content concurrently with the emissive display content, wherein the light reflected by the front surface is not specular reflection of the light striking the front surface from the viewer space, wherein the thematic overlay is free of a specular reflection surface, and wherein a brightness of the light source, in the active mode, is adjusted to a level such that a brightness of the emissive display content is 90 to 110 percent of a brightness of the diffuse reflection content.
