The material system for a surface display unit includes a first surface (i.e., a proximal surface) facing the viewer of the surface display unit and a second surface (i.e., a distal surface) facing away from the viewer. The material system may include a first appearance state, a generally opaque, first appearance state when the surface display unit is "off" (i.e., not used to display an image) (I. E., Information and / or decorations) that are illuminated and visible to the viewer, and wherein the material system is illuminated from a second (i. E., Distal) (I.
