## Abstract

An image display device includes a transparent plate which may be disposed in an inclined manner with respect to a display section of a portable terminal provided with the display section. A display displayed on the display section may be reflected on the transparent plate. A space behind the transparent plate may be viewed through the transparent plate and, at the same time, an image on the display section of the portable terminal may also be viewed while being reflected on the transparent plate.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An image display device, comprising:
an object;
a supporting body that supports a portable terminal having a display section in such a manner that the display section faces down, the supporting body including an information area having information corresponding to an image that is to be displayed by the portable terminal, a portion of an outline of the front side of the object corresponding to a portion of an outline of the image displayed on the display section; and
a transparent plate disposed at the front side of the object in an inclined manner such that an upper end thereof is located closer to the object relative to a lower end thereof, the transparent plate reflecting the image such that a reflected image is overlapped with the object that is seen through the transparent plate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The image display device according to claim 1, wherein the information includes access information for the portable terminal to access a server that has the image to be displayed by the portable terminal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The image display device according to claim 1, wherein the information includes a matrix barcode.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A image display system, comprising:
the image display device according to claim 1; and
a server configured to provide the image to be displayed by the portable terminal, wherein
the information includes access information for accessing the server, and
the portable terminal obtains the image from the server using the access information.

### Claim 5

An image display system, comprising
a terminal display including a display section that display an image; and
an image display device that includes:
an object;
a supporting body that supports the portable terminal in such a manner that the display section faces down, the display section displaying the image at a front side of the object, a portion of an outline of the front side of the object corresponding to a portion of an outline of the image displayed on the display section; and
a transparent plate disposed at the front side of the object in an inclined manner such that an upper end thereof is located closer to the object relative to a lower end thereof, the transparent plate reflecting the image such that a reflected image is overlapped with the object that is seen through the transparent plate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The image display system according to claim 5, wherein the supporting body includes an information area having information corresponding to an image that is to be displayed by the portable terminal.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The image display system according to claim 6, wherein the information includes access information for the portable terminal to access a server that has the image to be displayed by the portable terminal.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The image display system according to claim 6, wherein the information includes a matrix barcode.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The image display system according to claim 6, further comprising a server configured to provide the image to the portable terminal, wherein
the information includes access information for accessing the server, and
the portable terminal obtains the image from the server using the access information.
