## Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a lighting system for modifying visual perception of an image. In one embodiment, the lighting system includes a mirror having a display and a lighting system. The lighting system may have a key light above the display and a fill light below the display. The lighting system provides frontal lighting to the targeted subject with the key light shaping and defining the targeted subject, and the fill light softening the shadows and creating the illusion of a glow. Further, the key light and fill light may be of the same or different intensities.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for modifying the appearance of a targeted subject, comprising:
A polarized mirror having a display, the polarized mirror including diffusion material sandwiched between multiple layers of the polarized mirror; and
a lighting system having a key light above the display and a fill light below the display, the lighting system provides frontal lighting to the targeted subject with the key light shaping and defining the targeted subject, the fill light softening the shadows and creating the illusion of a glow, and the key light and fill light are of different intensities.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the polarized mirror includes a polarized filter positioned over the display.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the polarized mirror includes a colored glass.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the polarized mirror includes a golden-toned color glass.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the polarized mirror includes a convex distortion on a vertical axis of the polarized mirror.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the lighting system includes a light source surrounding the entire display of the mirror.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the light source of the lighting system is a light-emitting diode, incandescent light bulb, arc lamp, gas discharge lamp, neon lamp, flood lamp, modern photographic flash, laser, organic light-emitting diode, sulfur lamp, or any combination thereof.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the key light is covered with a polarization filter.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the fill light is covered with a polarization filter.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the lighting system includes a diffuser, a reflector and a light source.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the mirror display is in the shape of a circle, oval, square, rectangle, triangle or polygon.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the lighting system is in the shape of a circle, oval, square, rectangle, triangle or polygon.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the lighting system includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes positioned in a circular path around the mirror display.
