ABSTRACT:
A device which may be transformed from an ordinary mirror to a light emitting graphic display. The front wall is composed of a transparent layer affixed to a reflecting layer. The reflecting layer has a series of narrow grooves passing through describing a graphic image. Since the grooves are thin, most of the reflecting surface remains intact and can perform as a mirror. But upon illuminating the rear surface of the front wall, light emanates from the grooves displaying the graphic design. The light source may be integral to the device or a natural light source may be used. The grooves may be coated with a non-opaque colored stain, or non-opaque sheets of colored material may be affixed to the back surface of the front wall, so that the displayed design will be colored.
