Abstract
A blind spot assist device includes a first optical element and a second optical element. The first optical element reflects a part of incident light having a first angle of incidence at different second angles such that light is incident at the first angle on the first optical element from an outdoor view and reflected at the second angles on the first optical element. The second optical element is positioned to face the first optical element and reflects incident lights having different angles of incidence at a third angle such that lights reflected by the first optical element are incident at the second angles on the second optical element and reflected at the third angle on the second optical element toward a user.
Claims11
A blind spot assist device comprising:
- a first optical element configured to reflect a part of incident light having a first angle of incidence at different second angles such that light is incident at the first angle on the first optical element from an outdoor view and reflected at the second angles on the first optical element;
- and
- a second optical element positioned to face the first optical element and configured to reflect incident lights having different angles of incidence at a third angle such that lights reflected by the first optical element are incident at the second angles on the second optical element and reflected at the third angle on the second optical element toward a user.
A blind spot assist device comprising:
- a first optical element configured to transmit a part of incident light having a first angle of incidence and reflect another part of the incident light at different second angles such that light is incident at the first angle on the first optical element from an outdoor view and partially reflected at the second angles on the first optical element;
- and
- a second optical element positioned to face the first optical element and configured to reflect incident lights having different angles of incidence at a third angle such that lights reflected by the first optical element are incident at the second angles on the second optical element and reflected at the third angle on the second optical element toward a user.
