A visual display device, comprising: a first display in a first plane, wherein said first display is configured to display a first image; a second display in a second plane, wherein said second display is configured to display a second image, wherein said first and second planes (415, 425) are approximately parallel to each other; and a reflective surface and a switching mirror that are approximately parallel to each other, wherein said reflective surface is positioned at an angle to said first and second planes (415, 425), wherein said reflective surface is configured to project said first image from a first object plane in a first direction towards a viewer, and to project said second image from a second object plane in said first direction, and said switching mirror includes a controllable reflective surface, characterised in that: in a first mode, the display device is configured to reflect the first image toward a viewer via the reflective surface when the switching mirror and the second display are deactivated, in a second mode, the display device is configured to reflect the second image toward the viewer via the switching mirror when the switching mirror and the second display are activated, and the first display is deactivated, and the first and second modes are selectively activatable based on ambient light conditions so as to be able to switch back and forth between the first and second modes based on the ambient light conditions. a first display in a first plane, wherein said first display is configured to display a first image; a second display in a second plane, wherein said second display is configured to display a second image, wherein said first and second planes (415, 425) are approximately parallel to each other; and a reflective surface and a switching mirror that are approximately parallel to each other, wherein said reflective surface is positioned at an angle to said first and second planes (415, 425), wherein said reflective surface is configured to project said first image from a first object plane in a first direction towards a viewer, and to project said second image from a second object plane in said first direction, and said switching mirror includes a controllable reflective surface, characterised in that: in a first mode, the display device is configured to reflect the first image toward a viewer via the reflective surface when the switching mirror and the second display are deactivated, in a second mode, the display device is configured to reflect the second image toward the viewer via the switching mirror when the switching mirror and the second display are activated, and the first display is deactivated, and the first and second modes are selectively activatable based on ambient light conditions so as to be able to switch back and forth between the first and second modes based on the ambient light conditions. in a first mode, the display device is configured to reflect the first image toward a viewer via the reflective surface when the switching mirror and the second display are deactivated, in a second mode, the display device is configured to reflect the second image toward the viewer via the switching mirror when the switching mirror and the second display are activated, and the first display is deactivated, and the first and second modes are selectively activatable based on ambient light conditions so as to be able to switch back and forth between the first and second modes based on the ambient light conditions.
