Whats the 'gold mirror chip'? edit. A EPROM with a gold window in it? Some mirrors are plated with a layer of gold over the silver layer.
The projection mirrors will be a 'Front silvered mirror'.
If the pic projection went onto a normal mirror, some of the light would be reflected off the top of the glass sheet, while most of the light will pass thru the glass, then get reflected off the silver mirror layer.
That would give the actual screen pic a interference pattern around the outlines. (hard to describe, sorry)
