Digital rear mirror device having anti-glare function and control method thereof

A control method of a digital rear mirror device having an anti-glare function, which includes a liquid crystal mirror unit that uses a liquid crystal (LC) method, the method comprising:

• detecting light intensity from each of a front light sensor and a rear light sensor, installed on a vehicle;
• comparing the light intensity measured by the front light sensor with the light intensity measured by the rear light sensor;
• driving an anti-glare mode based on a light intensity comparison result;
• and
• adjusting reflectivity of the liquid crystal mirror unit.

A control method of a digital rear mirror device having an anti-glare function, which includes a liquid crystal mirror unit that uses a liquid crystal (LC) method, and is capable of implementing a mirror mode for checking a state of a rear of a vehicle through reflected light and a liquid crystal display (LCD) mode for displaying an image or a video, the method comprising:

• receiving an LCD mode signal;
• outputting a streaming video;
• detecting light intensity from a front light sensor installed on the vehicle;
• comparing the light intensity measured by the front light sensor with a predetermined value;
• and
• adjusting display brightness of the streaming video based on a light intensity comparison result.
