Smart mirror and hidden compartment assembly for a vehicle

A mirror display and compartment assembly comprising:

• a mirror display subassembly comprising:
• a transparent mirror having a front surface facing in a forward direction and a back surface opposite the front surface, wherein when a user is present in front of the front surface, the transparent mirror is configured to reflect a first image of the user from the transparent mirror back towards the user;
• and
• a display panel disposed adjacent to the back surface of the transparent mirror and configured to display a second image that is transmitted through the transparent mirror to be viewable from the front surface;
• and
• a compartment subassembly disposed adjacent to the mirror display subassembly and comprising:
• a compartment structure at least partially surrounding a compartment space, wherein the compartment subassembly further comprises a door disposed adjacent to the compartment structure and configured to move between an open position to allow access to the compartment space and a closed position to prevent access to the compartment space, wherein the door comprises an actuator that is operatively coupled to the door to move the door between the open position and the closed position, wherein the mirror display subassembly further comprises:
• a controller that is in communication with the actuator;
• and
• a switch sensor that is in communication with the controller and that is configured to selectively produce a first signal that is communicated to the controller, and wherein the controller is configured to produce a first command signal that is communicated to the actuator to direct the actuator to move the door between the open position and the closed position in response to the first signal.
