Abstract:
1. A two-way display, comprising: a transmissive display having a first orientation and a second orientation; at least one color filter on a front side of the transmissive display to define a color of the transmissive display in the first orientation and at least one color filter on a back side of the transmissive display to define a color of the transmissive display in the second orientation; a reflector positioned adjacent the transmissive display in the first orientation but not in the second orientation so that the display is viewable in a reflective mode in the first orientation; a sensor that detects an orientation of the transmissive display; and a processor that modifies orientation of characters displayed on the transmissive display responsive to the orientation of the transmissive display, wherein the processor is configured to modify the format of characters displayed on the transmissive display by a rotation of about 180° about a first axis and by a rotation of about 180° about a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis, when the transmissive display moves between the first and second orientation.
