NEW AT EHX FALL 2006, DECORATOR MIRROR with ‘MAGIC CURTAIN’ MAKES FLAT PANEL TV’s APPEAR and DISAPPEAR WHEN NOT IN USE
“Magic Curtain” Behind the Mirror Silently Rises to Reveal a Hidden TV While the Decorator Mirror and Frame Preserve the Designer’s Original Vision for the Room
Long Beach, CA. November 15, 2006 – Media Decor, LLC, the world leader in blending elegant design with AV technology, today announced Mirage-Mirror™ (patent pending), a revolutionary 2-way flat panel concealment mirror combining a designer-level picture frame, a Lutron Sivoia QED™ system and an advanced beam splitter technology that produces bright video images and an unprecedented level of high mirror reflectivity.
At the touch of a button on the remote control, a Lutron Sivoia QED system silently (<44 dB) and quickly raises a special blackout curtain into the top of the designer frame magically revealing a flat panel TV with clear images and vibrant color. The illusion of the TV image appearing through the mirror from the bottom to the top is dramatic. In the off mode, the blackout curtain is lowered between the mirror and the flat panel to dramatically increase the apparent reflectivity of the mirror while completely concealing the hidden flat panel TV from view under any light conditions. Blacking out or masking the TV behind the beam splitter is not critical.
“Unique in the industry, Mirage-Mirror creates a dramatic illusion by raising a curtain behind the screen to reveal the TV from the bottom to the top,” said Jonathan Graham, president of Media Décor. “Mirage-Mirror will delight viewers and impress guests each time they power it up. It’s the ideal solution for decorators, video enthusiasts and magic lovers.”
Always a show stopper, visitors to EHX Fall booth # 1725c can switch between mirror mode and video mode to see the “magic curtain” illusion first hand. The high fidelity video image is made possible by Media Decor’s unique patent pending beam-splitter technology. Only a portion of light is reflected from the beam splitter while the rest is transmitted through it unaffected. The proprietary glass (beam-splitter) provides the best combination of reflectance and transmission for viewing the TV through the glass while ‘on’ and acting as a mirror when the TV is ‘off’. Unlike other glass, there is no tinting or 'sunglasses effect'.
