The patent application describes a display device that combines the functions of a mirror and a display. It features a panel that can switch between reflecting like a mirror and showing visual information like a display. The device incorporates a camera, memory, and a processor to capture user images, determine user position and gaze direction, and adjust the panel's mode accordingly.
This invention pertains to advanced display technology, integrating mirror functionality with display capabilities. It leverages modern innovations such as translucent OLEDs and electrochromic displays to enhance user interaction and experience. The device is designed to offer dual roles, serving both as a traditional mirror and an information display.
Modern display technologies have evolved from simple information screens to multifunctional devices. The integration of translucent displays in mirrors allows for a seamless combination of reflection and information display. This advancement supports various applications, including smart home systems and healthcare monitoring, by providing personalized information and enhancing user engagement through sensor technology and connectivity.
The device's operation involves capturing user images to determine their position and gaze direction. This data is used to control the panel, switching it between mirror and display modes. The panel consists of a mirror layer and a display layer, which can function independently or in combination, depending on user interaction and external signals.
Potential uses for this technology include smart mirrors in bathrooms, fitness centers, beauty salons, and digital signage. The device can function as a smart mirror, magic mirror, or interactive mirror, offering versatility in various settings. Its ability to switch modes based on user interaction makes it a valuable tool for both personal and commercial use.
