Abstract

A display arrangement for displaying information perspectively or three-dimensionally has a first and second display devices. The first display device is positioned behind a semitransparent mirror and displays a first information which is directly viewed through the semitransparent mirror. The second display device is positioned to intersect the first display device at an acute angle and displays a second information downwardly. The second information from the second display device is reflected by the semitransparent mirror to be viewed indirectly. Since the virtual image of the second information is formed on a plane which is symmetric to the second display device with respect to the semitransparent mirror, it is viewed as displayed perspectively or three-dimensionally.
