また、説明を明確にするため、以下の記載および図面は、適宜、模式化又は簡略化されている。
図1は、第1実施形態に係る鏡面表示装置の一例の模式的上面図であり、図2は図1のII-II切断部断面図である。
光学薄膜5としては、例えば、入射する光を完全には反射せず部分的に透過するアルミニウム薄膜などの金属薄膜、金属酸化膜、又は誘電体多層膜が好ましい。中でも、反射率と透過率の比率が調整し易い点で、光学薄膜5は、誘電体多層膜であることが好ましい。
光学薄膜5は、公知の方法で形成できる。支持体1に直接形成してもよく、樹脂フィルムなどの透明基材面に光学薄膜5を形成したものを支持体に貼合して形成してもよい。
光学薄膜5が、金属薄膜である場合、該金属薄膜を保護するために、有機薄膜等の透明保護膜を金属薄膜の上層に形成してもよい。金属薄膜の厚みは、所望の透過率によって適宜設計すればよい。鏡面表示装置101に、タッチパネルを設置する場合には、光学薄膜5に設けられた金属薄膜をセンサ電極またはセンサ電極の一部として利用してもよい。
また、螺旋軸を有する円盤状液晶は、円盤状液晶に対してカイラルドーパントを添加することによって得られる。カイラルドーパントによって、液晶分子に捩じれが生じ、旋光性が付与される。螺旋を誘起するカイラルドーパントの濃度を調整することによって、若しくは液晶性化合物やカイラルドーパントの種類を変えることによってカイラル構造の螺旋ピッチを変えることができる。螺旋ピッチを変えることによって特定の波長の光を反射させることが可能となる。コレステリック規則性を構成する構造は、フィルム主面に対してほぼ法線方向のヘリカル軸を有することが好ましい。広帯域選択反射フィルムのみを用いる場合は、前記ヘリカル軸がフィルム主面に対して法線方向に完全に揃っていることが好ましい。ハーフミラーと広帯域選択反射フィルムとを積層して用いる場合は、前記ヘリカル軸が平均的にフィルム主面に対して法線方向となるようにしてもよい。

その反射の帯域幅Wは、以下の式(2)に示すように、液晶の複屈折異方性Δnとpの積で示される。
W=p×Δn (式(2))
表示装置2が広帯域選択反射フィルム3と空気層を介して接合されている場合、表示装置2と広帯域選択反射フィルム3との位置関係と同様にして、前記遮光層は空気層を介して広帯域選択反射フィルム3に対向して有することが好ましい。これにより、表示光を出射する領域とそれ以外の領域との境界が前面から視認されにくく、一体感のある鏡像を得ることができる。
前記保持部材は、表示装置2の表示面以外の領域で、例えば、側面で支持体1と表示装置2とを保持することが好ましい。さらに、保持部材は、遮光特性を備えることが好ましい。遮光特性を備えることで、表示装置2の表示光や、広帯域選択反射フィルム3等の表面での反射等の鏡面表示装置101の内部で反射する光が外部に漏れることおよび、正面以外から外光が入射することを防止できる。

次に、第1実施形態とは異なる鏡面表示装置の一例について説明する。以下、同一の要素部材は同一の符号を付し、適宜その説明を省略する。第2実施形態に係る鏡面表示装置は、以下の点を除く基本的な構成および作用は、第1実施形態と同様である。すなわち、第2実施形態においては、広帯域選択反射フィルム3に入射する際の表示光が、広帯域選択反射フィルム3が選択的に透過する円偏光の旋回方向と同じ旋回方向の円偏光である点において第1実施形態と相違する。表示装置2は、第1実施形態と同様に種々の選択が可能であるが、ここでは液晶表示装置に適用した例について説明する。
表示光を出射する領域以外の鏡面領域において、広帯域選択反射フィルム3の表示装置2と対向しない領域に遮光層を有する場合、光学フィルムは、遮光層の前面にも有することが好ましい。
第3実施形態に係る鏡面表示装置の一例を図4に示す。図4に示すように、鏡面表示装置103は、広帯域選択反射フィルム3と表示装置2とが第2の透明貼合材を介して接合されている点以外は、第1実施形態と同様である。
第2の透明貼合材は、前記した第1の透明貼合材と同様の材を使用できる。第2透明貼合材は、25℃におけるせん断弾性率を103Pa以上とすることにより、第2の透明貼合材の形状を維持しやすくなる。従って、適用された第2の透明貼合材の厚さを厚くしても、第2の透明貼合材全体で厚さが均一に保たれ、表示装置2と第2の透明貼合材との界面に空隙が発生し難くなる。第2の透明貼合材の25℃におけるせん断弾性率を104Pa以上にすることで変形をさらに抑制できる。さらに、第2の透明貼合材の25℃におけるせん断弾性率を107Pa以下にすることにより、表示装置2と支持体1(貼合面は広帯域選択反射フィルム3)との貼合密着力を高め、表示装置2が支持体1から剥離するのを防止できる。第2の透明貼合材の25℃におけるせん断弾性率を106Pa以下にすることにより、表示装置2と支持体1(貼合面は広帯域選択反射フィルム3)との貼合時の気泡の発生を抑えやすい。
光反射透過型部材201は、光学薄膜5を有する支持体1と、広帯域選択反射フィルム3を具備する。図5に示すように、支持体1と広帯域選択反射フィルム3は空気層を介在せずに、第1の透明貼合部材を介して接合されている。かかる光反射透過型部材における、支持体1、広帯域選択反射フィルム3、光学薄膜5、および第1の透明貼合材などは、上記した鏡面表示装置について種々説明したものを使用することができる。
