Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage (2) qui comprend : un panneau d'affichage (8) ; un panneau de gradation (10a) qui est disposé face au panneau d'affichage (8) et qui peut être commuté entre un état transmissif et un état réfléchissant ; un panneau transmettant la lumière (12) qui est disposé sur le côté opposé du panneau d'affichage (8) par rapport au panneau de gradation (10a) de manière à faire face au panneau de gradation (10a) ; un demi-miroir (14) qui est disposé face à la surface du panneau transmettant la lumière (12) sur le côté panneau de gradation (10a) et qui comporte une ouverture (40a) disposée face au panneau de gradation (10a) ; et une unité de commande (50) qui effectue une commande pour permettre la commutation entre un mode d'affichage d'image et un mode miroir. La réflectance et la couleur du demi-miroir (14) sont chacune sensiblement égales à la réflectance et à la couleur du panneau de gradation (10a) lorsque le panneau de gradation (10a), qui est maintenu dans un état réfléchissant, est vu à travers l'ouverture (40a).
