Light-emitting unit for door mirror
To provide a light-emitting unit for a door mirror capable of improving a stability of LED's position and connectivity, while reducing a breakage possibility of the LED due to heat. The light-emitting unit for a door mirror is characterized in that it includes a rigid first substrate part having a connector part to receive a signal, and mounts a control unit thereon to cause an LED to emit light based on the signal; a rigid second substrate part provided separately from the first substrate part and mounts the LED thereon; and a connection part connecting the first substrate part to the second substrate part and having a circuit to cause a current signal transmitted from a first substrate part side to reach the LED's side, and the connection part has lower heat transfer rate than heat dissipation rate of the second substrate part.
Near infra-red emitting rearview assembly
A system and rearview assembly is disclosed. The system includes a rearview assembly, an imager, and a controller. The rearview assembly comprises a backlight. Further, the rearview assembly is operable to provide a driver with a view of a scene rearward of a vehicle. Additionally, the rearview assembly is operable to emit light to illuminate the driver with at least one of infra-red and near infra-red light from the backlight. The imager is operable to image the driver in the at least one of infra-red and near infra-red light. The controller is communicatively connected to the imager and operable to analyze images of the driver to perform at least one of a biometric and a driver awareness analysis.
LIGHTED MIRRORS
A lighted mirror having a mirror housing that contains a mirror, a seat attachment assembly for attaching the lighted mirror to a seat in a vehicle, and a light housing that contains a light source for illuminating a child in a vehicle seat.
Apparatus for monitoring the blind spot of a motor vehicle
An apparatus for monitoring the blind spot of a motor vehicle has a mirror assembly with at least one mirror element that can be moved using an actuator, and a microphone assembly. The microphone assembly is designed to determine the sound direction, and the movable mirror element is in the form of a sound reflector.
Piezoelectric films with low haze and methods of making and using
A touch-sensitive assembly and method of making includes a first electrically conductive layer disposed on a first substrate and a second electrically conductive layer disposed on a second substrate. A piezoelectric film is disposed between the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer. The piezoelectric film includes a plurality of aligned piezoelectric particles disposed in a polymeric matrix and is characterized by a haze value of about 5% or less.
Vehicle rearview mirror assembly
A vehicle rearview mirror assembly is provided, including: a casing including a first shell body and a mounting board having an attachment portion with an aperture; a mirror attached to the mounting board and including a light-penetrable patterned portion spatially corresponding to the aperture; a light emitting module mounted to the attachment portion and including a second shell body, a light guide and a light source, the second shell body including an insertion slot therethrough, the light source being inserted through the insertion slot and engaged within the second shell body, and a binding member securing the light emitting module to the second shell body and sealing the insertion slot.

LIGHTING MODULE FOR LATERAL PART OF A VEHICLE
A lighting module for a vehicle includes a light source and a lens including an input dioptre oriented towards the light source and an output dioptre. The output dioptre includes at least one section through a horizontal plane having two convex portions separated by a concave portion, viewed from a side opposite the light source. The input dioptre includes a section through a vertical median plane having a lower convex portion and an upper concave portion, viewed from a side opposite the light source.
REARVIEW MIRROR WITH RGB INDICATOR LAMP
A rearview mirror with an RGB indicator lamp is provided, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle rearview mirrors. The rearview mirror includes a mirror shell and a mirror frame, and further includes a light module. The light module is installed inside the mirror shell, and a light-emitting panel of the light module is installed on the mirror frame. The light module is compact in structure, small in size and convenient to install on the rearview mirror. Meanwhile, the light-emitting panel is arranged on the mirror frame and integrated with the mirror frame, and the overall color is coordinated and unified.
Lighting device, rear-view device and motor vehicle
A lighting device of a rear view device of a motor vehicle, includes at least one light source with at least one light emitter for emitting light which can be coupled into and out of a light guide with at least one light funnel in order to pass at least through part of a light transmission unit and illuminate an area adjacent to the motor vehicle, where each light funnel extends upward or downward from its light input end to its light output end, and each light emitter is associated with a light funnel determining an optical axis.
