REARVIEW ASSEMBLY
A rearview assembly is disclosed. The rearview assembly may comprise an electro-optic element, a display element, and/or a sensor. The electro-optic element may comprise first and second substrates, an electro-optic medium, and a spectral filter. The first and second substrates may be disposed in a substantially spaced apart relationship and may have first and second edges, respectively. The electro-optic medium is disposed between the first and second substrates. The spectral filter may be substantially opaque in appearance and disposed in a peripheral manner on the first substrate. Additionally, the first and second substrates have a substantial miss-match where a line bisecting the first substrate does not bisect the second substrate. The display element is operable to display a digital image. The sensor is operable to sense a condition and generate a signal based thereon. Additionally, the sensor may be optically aligned with the miss-match.

Vehicle-mounted hand sanitizing system
A vehicle-mounted hand sanitizing system includes a fluid storage container having a main body and connectors for securement along or within a motor vehicle. A pump is in communication with the main body and a power supply. At least one mirror dispensing unit is connected to the pump by a control and supply line. Each of the at least one mirror dispensing units includes an automobile mirror assembly having a mirror housing, attachment column, mirrored surface, and a fluid discharge nozzle. A control switch is disposed along the mirror housing and is connected to a controller located within the at least one mirror housing. A hand sensor is provided along the mirror housing and is in communication with the control switch to activate the pump upon detecting the presence of a user's hand within a detection area.
CAMERA MIRROR SYSTEM WITH OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A camera arm for vehicle camera mirror system includes, among other things, a fixed housing portion that has a mounting bracket configured to secure the camera arm to a vehicle, a pivotable housing portion that is rotatably supported on the fixed housing portion by a pivot assembly, a camera that is arranged within the pivotable housing portion and configured to capture a view in relation to the vehicle, and a temperature sensor that is arranged within the fixed housing portion and configured to detect an temperature exterior to the vehicle.

REAR-VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY OF VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE
The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, and is intended to solve the problem that existing laser radars used for sensing surrounding environments of vehicles have poor heat dissipation. To this end, a rear-view mirror assembly of a vehicle and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes an onboard air-conditioner. The rear-view mirror assembly includes a rear-view mirror, a laser radar, and an air supply pipe. The rear-view mirror is provided with a chamber. The laser radar is disposed in the chamber, and a detection part of the laser radar is exposed to the outside of the rear-view mirror. An inlet of the air supply pipe is in communication with an air outlet of the onboard air-conditioner. The air supply pipe extends into the chamber, and an outlet of the air supply pipe is arranged towards the laser radar. According to the disclosure, cooling air generated by the onboard air-conditioner can be used to purposefully cool the laser radar through the air supply pipe, thereby prolonging service life of the laser radar and ensuring normal operation of the laser radar; moreover, since the air supply pipe is accommodated in the chamber of the rear-view mirror, space is saved, the rear-view mirror has a higher integration level and a smaller size, and the overall spatial arrangement is facilitated.
Optical assembly and rear-view mirror assembly comprising same
The optical assembly disclosed in the embodiment includes a housing having an inclined bottom surface, a plurality of inner surfaces around an outer periphery of the bottom surface, and a receiving space in which an upper portion is opened; and a lighting module disposed on the inclined bottom surface, wherein the lighting module includes a substrate inclinedly disposed on the inclined bottom surface; at least one light emitting device disposed on the substrate; and a resin layer sealing the light emitting device and the substrate, wherein an upper surface of the resin layer emits light by diffusing light emitted from the light emitting device, wherein the plurality of inner surfaces includes a first inner surface adjacent to the light emitting device, a second inner surface facing the first inner surface, and third and fourth inner surfaces facing each other and disposed between the first and second inner surfaces, wherein a height between the bottom surface of the housing and an upper surface of the housing increases from the first inner surface toward the second inner surface, and decreases from the third inner surface toward the fourth inner surface.
