The assembly also includes a control module coupled within the interior of the housing, a mirror coupled over the open end of the housing, and a communication module. The communication module includes an antenna electrically coupled with the control module and an antenna housing at least partially enclosing the antenna and coupled within the recess of the exterior surface of the main housing.

A system for a vehicle may comprise a rearview assembly comprising a display element configured for providing a rearward view of a scene behind the vehicle, at least one imaging device in communication with the display element and configured to capture images from within a passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a printed circuit board in communication with the display element and the at least one imaging device. The display element may be configured to selectively display content received from a source external to the vehicle. The display element may be suitable for receiving inputs from a plurality of sources. At least one of the plurality of sources may be one of the internet and a cellular network.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled mirror includes a mirror comprising a reflective layer. The reflective layer comprises at least one layer of a metallic material. At least one portion of the reflective layer is removed to form a booster antenna from a remaining portion of the reflective layer. A dielectric coating is applied to the mirror where the reflective layer was removed. The RFID-enabled mirror further includes an RFID chip coupled to the booster antenna.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle rear view device comprising: a shell; a rear view mirror forming an accommodation space between the shell and the rear view mirror; and a wireless communication device comprising a communication circuit board and a communication antenna. The communication circuit board is located in the accommodation space, the communication antenna is disposed in m antenna placement area of the shell, the communication antenna is disposed separately from the communication circuit board, md the communication antenna and the communication circuit board are electrically connected.

Antenna system adapted for integration in side mirrors of a vehicle. The antenna system includes two radiating conductors and a reflector coplanarly disposed on a same dielectric substrate of a printed circuit board. The radiating conductors are connected to the reflector through transmission lines electromagnetically coupled to a frequency band of operation. In order to optimize the radiating of the antenna system in a 180 sector that covers one lateral of the vehicle, the reflector is separated from the two radiating conductors by a distance included between 0.3 times and one time the central wavelength; and the reflector is less than 6 times wider than the radiating conductors.

A display device for a vehicle includes a main body, a guide, and a flexible display. The flexible display is configured to be inserted between a pair of guide plates of the guide. The pair of guide plates are transparent, and an area of the flexible display positioned between the pair of guide plates is configured to vary. The display device allows a front area of the vehicle to be viewed through the transparent guide plates, and allows a rear area of the vehicle to be disposed on the flexible display. The flexible display is configured to be protected by the pair of guide plates and deformed along the pair of guide plates.

A sensor assembling structure includes a sensor assembling void formed in a mounting base, a sensor assembling leaf spring, and mounting base-side leaf spring mounting portions formed at the mounting base. The mounting base is mounted to a windshield. The sensor assembling void receives a sensor. The sensor assembling leaf spring includes mounting base mounted portions. In a state in which the sensor is received in the sensor assembling void, the sensor assembling leaf spring is mounted to the mounting base-side leaf spring mounting portions via the mounting base mounted portions. The sensor assembling leaf spring maintains a state in which the sensor is received in the sensor assembling void.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled mirror includes a mirror comprising a reflective layer. The reflective layer comprises at least one layer of a metallic material. At least one portion of the reflective layer is removed to form a booster antenna from a remaining portion of the reflective layer. A dielectric coating is applied to the mirror where the reflective layer was removed. The RFID-enabled mirror further includes an RFID chip coupled to the booster antenna.
