Mirror display assembly and retail display system

A retail display system comprising:

• a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle;
• a first plurality of mirror panes oriented within the display unit;
• a second plurality of mirror panes oriented within the display unit, wherein the second plurality of mirror panes are formed from a different material composition than the first plurality of mirror panes;
• an upright surface of the display unit with an opening;
• an unpackaged mirror assembly mounted to the upright surface;
• and
• a mirror display assembly mounted within the opening of the upright surface, the mirror display assembly comprising:
• a base extending rearward from the upright surface opening,
• a rear wall connected to the base and spaced rearward from the opening of the upright surface,
• a hood extending from the rear wall spaced apart from the base,
• a pair of spaced apart sidewalls connected to the base and the rear wall and extending upward to the hood,
• wherein the base, the hood, and the pair of sidewalls collectively provide an opening into the mirror display assembly,
• an image surface mounted upon the base,
• a visible light source mounted to the hood and directed to the image surface,
• a sample from the first plurality of mirror panes mounted to the rear wall and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface, and
• a sample from the second plurality of mirror panes with a different material composition than the sample from the first plurality of mirror panes, the sample from the second plurality of mirror panes mounted to the rear wall and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface;
• wherein the hood extends over the image surface to the upright surface opening;
• wherein the sample from the first plurality of mirror panes and the sample from the second plurality of mirror panes are directly mounted to a common surface of the rear wall, coplanar, abutting, and adjacent each other to demonstrate a difference in how the sample from the first plurality of mirror panes and the sample from the second plurality of mirror panes render light color hues or tones;
• wherein the sample from the first plurality of mirror panes and the sample from the second plurality of mirror panes are oriented adjacent each other to visually demonstrate the material composition difference between the first plurality of mirror panes and the second plurality of mirror panes;
• wherein the sample from the first plurality of mirror panes and the sample from the second plurality of mirror panes are not spaced apart by a distance to visually demonstrate the material composition difference between the first plurality of mirror panes and the second plurality of mirror panes, and to demonstrate a difference in how the first mirror pane sample and the second mirror pane sample render lighter color hues or tones;
• wherein the pair of spaced apart sidewalls, the rear wall, and the hood partially enclose the mirror display assembly to obstruct the direct and indirect viewing of the light source;
• and
• wherein a viewing opening is defined between the base, the pair of sidewalls, and the hood.
