Abstract
Provided is a display room mirror system, including a display module that outputs images captured by a first camera and a second camera, so that the driver can secure his or her field of vision for the side rear as well as the rear of a vehicle using only one room mirror disposed in an inner part of the vehicle without confirming the side mirror, thereby effectively reducing moving lines in the driver's field of vision.
Claims6
A display room mirror system, comprising:
- a first camera mounted to a left side mirror of a vehicle and capturing a left rear view image of the vehicle;
- a second camera mounted to a right side mirror of the vehicle and capturing a right rear view image of the vehicle;
- a room mirror;
- a display module received in the room mirror, and individually displaying the left and right rear view images obtained from the first camera and the second camera;
- a sensor detecting a steering angle of a handle of the vehicle;
- a camera control unit adjusting capturing directions of the first camera and the second camera;
- and
- an image conversion button selecting a display mode of the display module,
- wherein the display module comprises:
- a first display module disposed at an end of a left side of the room mirror, and
- a second display module disposed at an end of a right side of the room mirror and spaced apart from the first display module,
- wherein the left rear view image is only displayed on the first display module in a first display mode,
- wherein the right rear view image is only displayed on the second display module in a second display mode, and
- wherein the first and second display modules individually display the left and right rear view images, respectively, in a third display mode,
- wherein if the steering angle of the handle is inputted to a left direction, the capturing directions of the first and the second camera are moved to the left side depending on the steering angle,
- wherein if the steering angle of the handle is inputted to a right direction, the capturing directions of the first and the second camera are moved to the right side depending on the steering angle,
- wherein the room mirror comprises:
- a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other;
- an electrode formed on a surface of the first substrate that faces the second substrate;
- a reflective layer formed a surface of the second substrate that faces the first substrate;
- a sealant formed between the electrode and the reflective layer and having a space therein;
- and
- an electrochromic material layer injected in the space of the sealant,
- wherein the electrochromic material layer comprises a solid electrochromic material and an electrolyte layer, and
- wherein the solid electrochromic material is formed at both sides of the electrolyte layer.
