Abstract
A mirror assembly for optional rearview and display includes a specific material of a reflective layer. The reflective layer is made of a multi-layer film such as SiO2/metal/SiO2 or TiO2/metal/TiO2, and preferably has a transmittance of 15%˜60%. Accordingly, the driver can see the objects at his side on the mirror via the reflection of the reflective layer as well as the active information provided by the display behind the mirror. The active information includes speed information, turning information and/or backing-up information.
Claims19
A rearview/display mirror assembly, comprising:
- a mirror for showing thereon an image of an object and/or an active information to be observed by a user;
- a multi-film reflective layer provided at a side of said mirror opposite to the user to allow said image of said object at the same side as the user to be reflected and shown on said mirror;
- and
- a display for providing said active information, disposed at a side of said multi-film reflective layer opposite to said mirror, the light emitted therefrom partially penetrating through said multi-film reflective layer to have said active information shown on said mirror.
A rearview/display mirror assembly, comprising:
- a rearview mirror for showing thereon an image of an object at the same side as a driver to be observed by the driver;
- a display disposed at the back of the rearview mirror, and emitting light penetrating through the rearview mirror to provide an active information to be observed by the driver;
- a metal/silicon dioxide composite layer disposed between said rearview mirror and said display, and having a transmittance of 15%˜60%;
- and
- a light-absorbing background disposed at a side of said metal/silicon dioxide composite layer opposite to said rearview mirror for absorbing the external light penetrating through said metal/silicon dioxide composite layer.
A rearview/display mirror assembly, comprising:
- a rearview mirror for showing thereon an image of an object at the same side as a driver to be observed by the driver;
- a display disposed at the back of the rearview mirror, and emitting light penetrating through the rearview mirror to provide an active information to be observed by the driver;
- a metal/titanium dioxide composite layer disposed between said rearview mirror and said display, and having a transmittance of 15%˜60%;
- and
- a light-absorbing background disposed at a side of said metal/silicon dioxide composite layer opposite to said rearview mirror for absorbing the external light penetrating through said metal/titanium dioxide composite layer.
