Abstract

One embodiment of the present application sets forth an apparatus that includes a composite display layer that transmits a set of composite light. The composite display layer includes a display layer that provides a first subset of light included in the set of composite light, and a first mirror layer parallel to the first display layer that provides a second subset of light included in the set of composite light, where the second subset of light comprises a reflection of a first portion of the first subset of light. The composite display layer also includes a polarizer layer disposed on the composite display layer, where the polarizer layer provides the first portion of the first subset of light to the first mirror layer.
