Definition
背面 (bèi miàn) specifically means the back or reverse side of an object (e.g., paper, card, building). It contrasts with 后面 (hòu miàn), which is a general spatial term for 'behind' or 'at the back' (and also 'later' in time). 反面 (fǎn miàn) also means reverse side but can carry a negative connotation (e.g., the opposite side of an argument, a villain role).
