Provided herein is an automobile visor extender that protects a user from light entering a vehicle cabin for a comfortable driving experience. The visor extender has a light deflector with an outer cover that encompasses a support piece in an inner core for structural support. A pair of straps are affixed on the outer cover at opposing edges to secure the visor extender to a visor in the automobile. Also described is a visor extender with a foldable inner core, which allows the user to adjust the height of the visor extender without having to stop the vehicle.

A sun visor apparatus for a vehicle includes a light shield with a plurality of coupled display panels. A driver is configured to drive the display panels of the light shield such that the display panels are folded or unfolded. A controller is configured to control the light shield and the driver. The controller is configured to receive a user input, to control the driver to fold or unfold the display panels such that the display panels execute a predetermined function of the light shield, and to control the light shield to display, on the display panels, image information corresponding to the predetermined function of the light shield according to the received user input.

Disclosed are light glare reducing apparatuses and related methods. A light glare reducing apparatus includes a first polarized body, a second polarized body, and a movable coupling that attaches the second polarized body to the first polarized body with the second polarized body at least partially overlapping the first polarized body. The first polarized body includes a first polarized material that is optically polarized in a first direction relative to the first polarized body. The second polarized body includes a second polarized material that is optically polarized in a second direction relative to the second polarized body. The movable coupling is configured to enable the second polarized body to move relative to the first polarized body to change an angle of the second direction relative to the first direction.

A motorized vehicle visor is developed with a portion of the visor panel to expand and contract in a vertical motion normal to the round bar shaft that mounts and suspends the visor from the interior of the roof and windshield area of the vehicle, deriving the integrated vehicle visor to take various shape of the width for different functions when operated by a controller and/or manual operation. Within the integrated vehicle visor, there consist two sets of motor, tension adjustment, gears, belt, and gear pulleys drive train system place within two compartments of the visor panels, to motion for contraction or extension of the visor. Another two sets are the direct motor drive system, which system comprises of the motor, gear components and tension adjustment, arranged for direct motor drive system to maneuver about the round bar shaft when an electric signal is given. At the end of the round bar shaft that suspends the integrated vehicle visor, is a cylinder with a stretched spherical end; which spherical end is held in place by a solenoid actuating system. The function of the solenoid actuator is to disengage the release handle when electric signal is given to the system. The disengagement of the release handle clears the integrated vehicle visor to pivot in an angular horizontal motion to the side window, as the integrated vehicle visor width contacts and pivot in position towards the roof of the vehicle.

A sun visor assembly for a vehicle according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a visor configured to be mounted in a vehicle and pivotable between a first position and a second position. A display is mounted on the visor. The display is pivotable between a stowed position and a viewing position relative to the visor.

A concealed sun visor includes a body having a receiving portion. The receiving portion includes two lateral grooves respectively extending transversely from two ends of a top edge and an open end opposite to the top edge. A holding and positioning mechanism includes a holding portion extending outward from an edge thereof. A light filter is mounted in the receiving portion and has an edge securely mounted in the holding portion. Two pressing members are disposed on two ends of the holding and positioning mechanism, respectively. The two ends of the holding and positioning mechanism are received in the two lateral grooves. Each pressing member is biased outward to press against a wall of a respective lateral groove to thereby provide a retaining force holding the light filter in the two lateral grooves. The light filter is movable between a storage position and an extended position for blocking light.

A visor is configured for shading eyes of a user from a light from behind the visor. The visor includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is configured to display images to the user from behind the visor, and the second portion is configured to be able to adjust a rate of light transmittance according to the light from behind the visor. The present disclosure further provides a visor system, a vehicle containing a visor, and a light blocking and display method.

An attachable sun visor system includes a sun visor extension assembly including a sun shade panel, an extendable rod having a first-end, a second-end, and a mounting member. The sun shade panel is configured to attach to a rod of a stationary sun visor in a vehicle and swivel from being adjacent to the stationary sun visor during non-use to being perpendicular to the stationary sun visor during an in-use condition to provide an effective shade area in combination with the stationary sun visor.
