Camera monitor system display brightness balancing

A camera monitor system for enhancing vehicle operator visibility of a surrounding environment, comprising:

• multiple cameras including first and second cameras respectively providing first and second fields of view;
• multiple displays including first and second displays configured to respectively depict at least portions of the first and second fields of view, the first and second displays respectively include a first and second brightness;
• multiple ambient light sensors including first and second ambient light sensors in proximity respectively to the first and second displays and configured to respectively provide a first and second light ambient signal indicative of an amount of ambient light respectively in a region of the first and second displays, the first and second ambient light sensors facing toward the vehicle operator;
• and
• a controller in communication with the first and second displays and in communication with the first and second ambient light sensors, the controller configured to adjust one of the first and second brightnesses of one of the first and second displays based upon at least the other of the first and second ambient light signals of the other of the first and second displays.
