To provide a mirror with a monitor for a vehicle that allows display light to pass through a region of a mirror surface thereof to be visually recognized by a viewer, in which the viewability of the display is improved while suppressing the cost increase. A region of a mirror element that transmits display light is formed of a wire grid having a polarization direction that agrees with the polarization direction of the display light. A region of the mirror element adjacent to the wire grid is formed of a reflective film formed of a reflective metal film or a dielectric multilayer film. The grid of the wire grid is formed of Al thin lines, for example. The reflective film is formed of a Cr half mirror, for example. A dark color mask is disposed on the back surface of the Cr half mirror.
A mirror with a monitor for a vehicle that allows linearly polarized display light emitted from a light emitting display device to pass through a region of the mirror surface from a back side of a mirror surface thereof to be visually recognized by a viewer,
