Abstract
A mirror device with a display function includes a room mirror with a display function, a direction detection unit, and a switching unit. The room mirror with a display function includes a display panel that displays an image and a half mirror that is provided on a display surface of the display panel. The direction detection unit detects a direction of the room mirror with a display function. The switching unit performs, according to the direction of the room mirror with a display function detected by the direction detection unit, switching between a mirror mode operation, in which the display of the image on the display panel is stopped and a mirror surface of the half mirror is used, and a display mode operation in which the image is displayed on the display panel.
