BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a display device and a mirror device capable of displaying an image both in a reflective state in which incident light is reflected, and in a transmissive state in which incident light is transmitted.

2. Description of the Related Art

Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Publication No. 2001-318374 A discloses a device that can be switched between a display state in which an image is displayed, and a mirror state (reflective state) in which a reflected image is obtained.

In the display device of Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Publication No. 2001-318374 A, when a touch panel is further placed thereon, the reflectivity in the reflective state may be lowered.

SUMMARY

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a display device and a mirror device that can prevent reflectivity in the reflective state from lowering, and that can detect a nearby object.

A display device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprising: a display panel; and a front surface panel that is superimposed with the display panel, and that is switched between a reflective state in which incident light is reflected and a transmissive state in which incident light is transmitted, wherein the front surface panel is capable of detecting presence of an object to be detected.

A mirror device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure capable of displaying an image both in a reflective state in which incident light is reflected and in a transmissive state in which incident light is transmitted, the mirror device comprising: a display device; and an image pickup device that picks up the image, and the display device comprising: a display panel; and a front surface panel that is superimposed with the display panel, and that is switched between a reflective state in which incident light is reflected and a transmissive state in which incident light is transmitted, wherein the front surface panel is capable of detecting presence of an object to be detected.
