Mitsubishi had on display what they are calling a "reversible LCD." Although the system was announced back in February of this year, this is the first of I've heard of it since then. According to "Heartbeat Motors," making the technology practical is soon to be done; but plans for commercialization still aren't finalized.
So what does this do? As you can see in the above pic (compliments of Impress Watch), there is indeed a different image in the mirror. While the display closest to the guy taking the picture shows the front of some character (I guess it's a cat?), the reflection in the mirror shows the back of the cat. At this point, you're probably thinking, "well what's so cool about that, my phone has an external display too." But that's just it; your phone has an internal display and external display. These are two separate screens, independent of one another.
But that's not how this technology works. It is, in fact, one LCD screen depicting two different images depending on which side you view it from. Things get technical from here on out, but to sum it up, you basically have two transparent backlights on either side of the LCD. When one backlight is turned on, an image can be seen on the LCD from the opposite side. Turn both backlights on, and the same image can be seen from both sides. Since this alone wouldn't create two different images on each side of the screen, Mitsubishi's technology involves swapping out the LCD's image 120 times per second. I hate math, but 120 / 2 (for two screens) would give you 60 frames per second on each. Not too shabby.
