Full display mirror with gear-driven toggle mechanism

A rear-vision system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a video camera mounted on the vehicle in a position to capture an image of a portion of an exterior thereof;
• and
• a display mirror, including:
• a substrate having a display in electronic communication with the camera for presenting the image thereon and a one-way reflective layer overlying the display;
• and
• an actuation mechanism coupled with the substrate and including:
• a mounting plate defining a first end rotatably coupled with the substrate;
• a socket body rotatably mounted in a fixed position with respect to the substrate;
• a resiliently deformable arm coupled with and extending away from the mounting plate and operably coupled with the socket body along a coupling axis;
• and
• a motor coupled with the substrate and operably coupled with the socket body to drive rotation thereof.
