What is two way glass mirror?
A two-way screen achieves its effect by replacing the reflective mirror on the back. It’s a reflective screen with a mirror reflection film.
From the front, the reflection film appears as a mirror, but from the back, it is transparent glass through which one can see.
Principle of Two-Way Mirror
The secret of the two-way mirror lies in the semi-reflective film.
It’s similar to the glass on some buildings, certain sunglasses, and automotive tinting. The front side acts as a mirror, reflecting sunlight and providing a readable display in bright conditions.
Meanwhile, the back side is transparent, allowing visibility through the mirror and providing a pathway for the screen’s backlight.
Two-Way Mirror Smart Mirror
The two-way mirror (semi-reflective) technology used in smart mirror screens alters the original ratio of transmission and reflection through a coating process.
This coating can enhance transparency to increase light intensity or enhance reflection to decrease light intensity. The term “semi-reflective” means that the film’s transmittance and reflectance are 30% and 70%.
After light passes through this thin film, half of the light intensity is transmitted through, and the other half is smartly reflected on the mirror.
Application of Two Way Glass Mirror
