Frameless Touch Smart Mirror

@broberg First of all, thanks for your response!
What do you mean by “between the different glass-layers”? Doesn’t a mirror just have one glass-layer?
Since the Displax Two-Way-Mirrors with Touch are for commercial use, they are probably going to be very expensive…
I had a look at the Tech Sheet again and it states that they are using a “G + G Touchscreen”. This is a type of Capacitive Touchscreen like @bhepler said.
But I still don’t understand, how they use a capacitive touchscreen through a mirror glas?
-
@CedericPrivat thats the thing if you fuse the mirrorcoating, the glass and the touch grid (capacative touch is basically really thin wires layed out in a grid). You could probably program the touch controller circuit to disregard any sensor noise created by the metallic mirror coating.
So basically, the touch grid is above the mirror, not under it. And probably seperated by a layer of glass.
-
@broberg That makes sense. The question is, where do I get such a screen (apart from suppliers for commercial use). It should be at least 32". Maybe Aliexpress or something similar?
Quick Update: I wrote an Email to Displax to maybe provide us with a price list, and if it is even available for private customers.

Regardless where (and if you find other suppliers) it would cost you a lot of cash. Since it’s still a very niche product and therefore not produced in any great quantities.
Especially at the size of 32" (where only a regular two way mirror would set you back a great deal)
-
@broberg Yeah, I thought so. Nevertheless, still trying to figure out how much it will cost and if it is worth it for me.
So if anyone has another supplier or idea how to make such a mirror, feel free to PM me or just reply to this topic.
Thanks to anyone who answered so far! :)
