Abstract

A display rerouting apparatus reroutes a displayed image from an image source in a display module for providing a redirected angular visibility for the displayed image. In an illustrative embodiment, the display rerouting apparatus includes a base panel having a rectangular opening or widow for positioning atop of a display module in communication equipment, a rear panel having a one-way reflective mirror positioned in a rectangular opening in this rear panel, and a front panel having a two-way reflective mirror positioned in a rectangular opening in this front panel. Both the rear and front panels are respectively hingeably attached at their lower edges to the rear and front edges of the base panel for facilitating the use of the rerouting apparatus on different types of communication. In operation, the image from the display module is projected through the base of the apparatus onto the two-way reflective mirror. This image is then reflected off of the two-way reflective mirror and on to the one way reflective mirror. From the one-way reflective mirror, the image is reflected to and projected through the two-way reflective mirror for viewing by an observer who looks through the two-way reflective mirror to see the image on the surface of the one-way reflective mirror. In an alternative embodiment of the display rerouting apparatus, a prism having a two-way reflective coating on one side and a one-way reflective coating on another, is advantageously employed.
