A method and apparatus for displaying a reflective image in response to light emitted from an emissive display is disclosed. An apparatus includes an emissive display, a processor in communication with the emissive display, and an electronic cover proximate to the emissive display. The electronic cover includes a passive display layer having a plurality of passive display elements and a photosensitive layer responsive to emitted light from the emissive display. A method includes forming an emitted light image on the emissive display and exposing the photoconductor layer of the electronic cover to an emitted light image, causing the plurality of passive display elements to form a reflective image on the passive display layer so that the reflective image corresponds to the displayed image.
