ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE

摘要

An electronic appliance having a mirror capable of being functioned in an arbitrary operational state. This electronic appliance is capable of reducing the power consumption while performing the function as the mirror, and has a light reflecting panel (12) with the reflectance thereof changing according to the applied voltage on a liquid crystal display (30) of a display unit (10). If a cellular phone (100) does not perform any predetermined function or operation using the display unit (10) such as terminating, the reflectance of the light reflecting panel (12) is increased to set the panel in a mirror−like state and use the it as the mirror. On the other hand, if the cellular phone (100) performs the predetermined function or operation associated with the display operation, the reflectance of the light reflecting panel (12) is decreased to set the panel in a transmission state and use it as the liquid crystal display (30). The display unit (10) or the like having the light reflecting panel (12) can be functioned as a mirror when necessary.
