Display with reflective surface

Abstract

A display device has a wall structure including a rear wall with a reflective surface portion and an object or depiction of an object: a) at; or b) spaced forwardly of the rear wall. The wall structure has a front wall and a transparent portion. At least one indicium is at at least one location on the front wall spaced forwardly of the object/depiction. The display device is configured so that, as viewed from a first perspective through the transparent portion of the wall structure, a reflected image of the at least one indicium at the reflective surface portion appears to be: i) behind the object/depiction with the object/depiction at the rear wall; and ii) further behind the object/depiction than the rear wall is spaced behind the object/depiction, with the object/depiction spaced forwardly of the rear wall.
