A visor for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The visor comprises a pivot rod and a first and second shell being engagable to form a visor body. The visor also comprises a vanity and a mirror having at least one clear portion arranged at or near an end thereof. The visor also comprises a circuit board secured to the first shell and a light emitting diode secured to a surface of the circuit board. The visor also comprises a ramp arranged in a back surface of the mirror wherein the ramp is aligned with at least one clear portion of the mirror. The visor mirror having a ramp arranged therein may allow for light to be redirected towards the user of the mirror from the LED.

A control unit (10) for an apparatus (12), the control unit (10) comprising a component-carrying member (14; 114; 18; 118) provided with at least one electronic component (30, 32, 34, 36, 38; 60, 62; 74, 78) configured to provide a function of the apparatus (12); wherein the component-carrying member is formed of a material that is pliable at least during assembly of the control unit (10). The control unit is provided with an injection moulded layer (22; 22′) encapsulating at least a part of the or each electronic component (30, 32, 34, 36, 38; 60, 62; 74, 78).

A vehicle sun visor has a light source on a light guide plate back side allowing light to be emitted, a visor main body, and a light source inside the body. A light guide plate is installed on a light source front side. The plate has a first exit surface reflecting light inside the plate from a back surface. A second exit surface reflecting light passing along the plate is formed on its back surface. A mirror plate is installed alongside on the plate front side, and has a mirror region covering the light source and the first exit surface from the front side, and a luminous region covering the second exit surface from the front side. A diffusion member is placed in direct and close contact with a luminous region back surface, and the diffusion member diffuses light from the light guide plate toward the front side.
