Patent ID: 7673408

Claim:
An assembly comprising: a substantially transparent front panel having a rear side and a front side opposed thereto; a partially translucent screen with a partially reflective front surface and a rear surface opposed thereto, the front surface being positioned to face the rear side of the front panel and being spaced apart therefrom by a predetermined distance; the front surface of the screen being positioned substantially parallel to the rear side of the front panel; a plurality of first dots disposed on the front panel in a sufficiently consistent density over a given area to produce a substantially uniform tinted appearance to the front panel when observed through the front side; a plurality of second dots disposed on the first dots and facing said front surface of the screen, said second dots being smaller than said first dots; said second dots defining a first image for reflection by at least part of said front surface of the screen to provide a virtual image of the first image; a back wall positioned behind the screen, the back wall displaying a second image on an exposed surface thereof facing the rear surface of the screen, the exposed surface being spaced apart from the front surface of the screen by the predetermined distance, the exposed surface substantially defining a plane; the exposed surface of the back wall being positioned substantially parallel to the front surface of the screen; the second image being at least partially observable through the front side of the front panel; and the virtual image being located substantially in the plane of the exposed surface such that the virtual image appears to be positioned behind the screen.
