A rear-view mirror for a vehicle, comprising:
- a body part;
- a mirror part coupled to the body part;
- a display part coupled to the body part;
- an input member configured to control at least one of the body part or the display part, the input member configured to be selectively arranged in first, second, and third states, wherein the input member comprises a lever that is rotatably coupled to the body part;
- and
- a connection member connected to the body part and the lever,
- wherein:
- based on the input member being in the first state, the body part is configured to be placed in a first position, and the display part is configured to turn on,
- based on the input member being in the second state, the body part is configured to be placed in a second position, and the display part is configured to turn on, and
- based on the input member being in the third state, the body part is configured to be placed in the second position, and the display part is configured to turn off, and
- wherein the connection member is connected to the lever by a detent structure configured to restrict rotation of the lever relative to the body part.
A rear-view mirror for a vehicle, comprising:
- a body part;
- a mirror part coupled to the body part;
- a display part coupled to the body part;
- and
- an input member configured to control at least one of the body part or the display part, the input member configured to be selectively arranged in first, second, and third states,
- wherein:
- based on the input member being in the first state, the body part is configured to be placed in a first position, and the display part is configured to turn on,
- based on the input member being in the second state, the body part is configured to be placed in a second position, and the display part is configured to turn on, and
- based on the input member being in the third state, the body part is configured to be placed in the second position, and the display part is configured to turn off,
- wherein:
- the input member comprises a lever rotatably coupled to the body part and at least one button,
- the first state of the input member comprises a state in which the lever is tilted by a first angle with respect to a vertical line and in which the at least one button receives a first input,
- the second state of the input member comprises a state in which the lever is tilted by a second angle with respect to the vertical line and in which the at least one button receives the first input,
- the third state of the input member comprises a state in which the lever is tilted by the second angle with respect to the vertical line and in which the at least one button receives a second input,
- the display part is further configured to:
- turn on based on a reception of the first input to the at least one button, and
- turn off based on a reception of the second input to the at least one button, and the body part is further configured to:
- be placed in the first position based on the lever being tilted by the first angle with respect to the vertical line, and
- be placed in the second position based on the lever being tilted by the second angle with respect to the vertical line.
A rear-view mirror for a vehicle, comprising:
- a body part;
- a mirror part coupled to the body part;
- a display part coupled to the body part;
- and
- an input member configured to control at least one of the body part or the display part, the input member configured to be selectively arranged in first, second, and third states,
- wherein:

- based on the input member being in the third state, the body part is configured to be placed in the second position, and the display part is configured to turn off,
- wherein:
- the input member comprises first and second levers that are each rotatably coupled to the body part,
- the first state of the input member comprises a state in which both of the first and second levers are tilted by a first angle with respect to a vertical line,
- the second state of the input member comprises a state in which the first lever is tilted by a second angle with respect to the vertical line and in which the second lever is tilted by the first angle with respect to the vertical line,
- the third state of the input member comprises a state in which both of the first and second levers are tilted by the second angle with respect to the vertical line,
- the display part is further configured to:
- turn on based on the second lever being tilted by the first angle with respect to the vertical line, and
- turn off based on the second lever being tilted by the second angle with respect to the vertical line, and
- the body part is further configured to:
- be placed in the first position based on the first lever being tilted by the first angle with respect to the vertical line, and
- be placed in the second position based on the first lever being tilted by the second angle with respect to the vertical line.
