The AI film 2 and the silicon oxide protective film 3 were formed by a sputtering method, and the transmittance was set to 5%. The fluorescent display tube 4 has seven segments, has a luminance of 150 ft Lambert, and is enabled by a drive circuit 5 to display time-varying information. Further, the entire half mirror is covered with an outer frame 6 so that external light does not directly pass through the back surface of the half mirror.

Instead of the fluorescent display tube used in this embodiment, any light-emitting type display device as described above can be used. In particular, fluorescent display tubes and LED elements are desirable because they have high brightness.It is very desirable to be able to change the brightness depending on the brightness of the surrounding atmosphere. All you need to do is have a circuit that can change the brightness of the surrounding area.
It is also possible to automatically adjust the brightness to a suitable level.

Furthermore, although this embodiment has a structure in which the drive circuit is housed in the outer frame 6, the outer frame B is provided so that light other than the light-emitting type display element does not directly pass through from the back of the half mirror. As long as the light-emitting display element is surrounded by the outer frame 6, the drive circuit and the like may be provided outside the outer frame 6.

Furthermore, the portion where the glass plate is made into a half mirror can be limited to the area around the part where the display appears, and the rest can be made into a normal mirror. In this case, sputtering only needs to be performed on a small area, which makes it easy to increase the size of the mirror, which is desirable.

Since the transmittance is 5%, the typical indoor brightness is 5%.
From 00 to 7001ux, the presence of the fluorescent display tube 4 and the drive circuit 5 behind the half mirror cannot be visually recognized, and the entire mirror functions as a mirror.
