Patent ID: 8880360

Claim:
A method comprising: selecting a reflectivity of a reflective area, the reflective area is part of a mirror platform; selecting a reflectivity of a media display device viewing area, the media display device viewing area is another part of the mirror platform; such that when a media display device is placed behind the media display device viewing area and the media display device is in an off state, a reflectivity of the media display device viewing area is substantially the same as the reflectivity of the reflective area which causes the media display device viewing area to blend into the reflective area without any polarizing layer within the media display device viewing area; and defining a back lit portion of the mirror platform, wherein a reflectivity of a portion of the mirror platform is reduced to obtain the back lit portion; such that light from a light source located behind the mirror platform passes through the backlight area when the light source is on.
