A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a display device disposed in the mirror head and behind a reflective element. An actuator is operable to adjust the mirror head between a mirror mode orientation and a display mode orientation. Operation of the actuator moves a cam follower to cause a pin at the mirror head to travel along the groove to adjust orientation of the mirror head. With the mirror head in the mirror mode orientation, a first voltage is applied to adjust the mirror head out of the mirror mode orientation. A second voltage that is lower than the first voltage is then applied to adjust the mirror head toward the display mode orientation. A third voltage that is higher than the second voltage is then applied to adjust the mirror head into the display mode orientation.

An electro-optic assembly is located in the housing, the electro-optic assembly includes a partially reflective, partially transmissive front substrate. The front substrate defines a first surface and a second surface. A rear substrate defines a third surface and a fourth surface. An electro-optic medium is disposed between the front substrate and the rear substrate. A display module is located in the housing and a camera unit is located outside the housing and includes a camera. The camera is configured to capture an image. An electronic control unit (“ECU”) is located in the housing and is configured to send instructions to the camera to capture the image and to generate information about the image on the display module. A flexible conductor is at least partially located in the housing and electrically coupled between the ECU and the camera.

A display device includes a display panel, and a front panel overlapping with the display panel and being switched into a reflection state in which incident light is reflected and a transmission state in which incident light is transmitted. The front panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate, a first translucent electrode provided on a side of the first substrate on which the liquid crystal layer is located, a second translucent electrode provided on a side of the second substrate on which the liquid crystal layer is located, a discharge resistor that is electrically coupled to the second translucent electrode and is provided on the second substrate, and a first conductive pillar that electrically couples the first translucent electrode and the discharge resistor.

A vehicular camera is configured to be disposed at a vehicle. The camera includes a circuit board and a lens holder having a lens barrel accommodating a lens. The circuit board has circuitry disposed at a circuit board substrate. The circuitry includes an imager disposed at a first side of the circuit board substrate. The circuit board substrate has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is different from the CTE of the lens holder. The circuit board substrate is attached at the structure of the lens holder via a fastener that passes through an oversized hole in the circuit board substrate, with a cross dimension of the oversized hole being greater than a corresponding cross dimension of the fastener. The vehicular camera, via movement of the fastener within the oversized hole, allows for temperature-induced expansion or contraction of the lens holder relative to the circuit board substrate.

A vehicular lighting assembly includes an plurality of micro-LEDs disposed at a substrate. Width dimension of each individual micro-LED of the plurality of micro-LEDs is less than 500 microns, and length dimension of each individual micro-LED of the plurality of micro-LEDs is less than 500 microns. Packing density of micro-LEDs of the plurality of micro-LEDs at the substrate is at least 10 micro-LEDs per square centimeter. Each individual micro-LED of the plurality of micro-LEDs, when the vehicular lighting assembly is operated to emit light, passes less than 4 mA electrical current. The vehicular lighting assembly is configured to be disposed at a portion of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular lighting assembly, With the vehicular lighting assembly disposed at the portion of the vehicle, light emitted by the plurality of micro-LEDs, when the vehicular lighting assembly is operated to emit light, is viewable at the portion of the vehicle.

An exterior mirror assembly for a vehicle includes an arm having a proximal end coupled with a vehicle door and a distal end. A mirror assembly is coupled to the arm. The mirror assembly includes an electro-optic element. The mirror assembly is rotatable about the distal end between first and second positions. An imager is disposed proximate to the distal end and configured to capture image data within a blind spot zone of said vehicle

An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive video frames generated by a plurality of capture devices. The processor may be configured to perform operations to detect objects in the video frames received from a first of the capture devices, determine depth information corresponding to the objects detected, determine blending lines in response to the depth information, perform video stitching operations on the video frames from the capture devices based on the blending lines and generate panoramic video frames in response to the video stitching operations. The blending lines may correspond to gaps in a field of view of the panoramic video frames. The blending lines may be determined to prevent the objects from being in the gaps in the field of view. The panoramic video frames may be generated to fit a size of a display.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera having a field of view interior of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system, a plurality of infrared light emitters operable to illuminate a region at least partially within the field of view of the camera, and an electronic control unit having an image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The camera captures frames of image data at a first rate, and infrared light emitters of the plurality of infrared light emitters are pulsed at a second rate. The first rate is different than the second rate. For a driving assist function of the vehicle, capture of frames of image data by the camera at the first rate is synchronized with pulsing of the infrared light emitters of the plurality of infrared light emitters at the second rate.

A vehicular display system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle. The cameras capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. The system includes a video display screen and a video mirror display screen that are operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed below a threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by a rearward viewing camera and provides the rearward view video images to the video display screen. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed at or above the threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by a rearward viewing camera and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen.
