An electronic mirror device is attached to a vehicle interior and is used for rearward visual recognition. The electronic mirror device includes an optical member that reflects incident light from a front surface side and transmits incident light from a rear surface side, and an liquid crystal display that includes a liquid crystal panel disposed on the rear surface side of the optical member and a backlight that irradiates the liquid crystal panel with light, and displays an image of a rear view of the vehicle. A peak angle of the backlight is directed downward with respect to a front direction of the liquid crystal panel.

An interior minor for a motor vehicle, including a housing and a minor element held within it, can be tipped between a day position and a night position by means of at least one actuation element, where a direction of actuation of the at least one actuation element corresponds to a transverse direction of the interior minor in a central installation position.

A mirror assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The mirror assembly comprises a support bracket, a glass element operably coupled with the support bracket, and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is in connection with the support bracket, wherein the actuator assembly is adjustable to tilt the glass element to a first position and to a second position. A damper is in engagement with the actuator assembly and the support bracket. The damper controls a movement of the actuator assembly corresponding to the movement of the glass element from the first position to the second position. The mirror assembly further comprises a sensor configured to detect a position of the actuator assembly.

A rearview mirror for a vehicle includes a housing defining an interior cavity and an actuation mechanism coupled within the interior of the housing. The actuation mechanism includes an arcuate first track fixed with the housing. A mounting plate is rotatably coupled within the cavity of the housing at a first end thereof and defines a generally vertically arranged second track alignable with the first track. A toggle unit is coupled within the interior cavity of the housing and is rotatable about an axis between first and second positions. A first arm of the toggle unit extends from the toggle unit and defines an opening therein alignable with the first track and having two opposite, facing, cam surfaces extending away each other. The actuation mechanism further includes an actuation pin extending through the first track, the second track, and the opening.

The rear view mirror (100) comprises a rear view mirror housing (110) to be movably mounted to a portion of a motor vehicle, a reflective element (120) received in the housing (110), and actuating means (130) for moving the rear view mirror housing (110) in at least two different positions. The actuating means (130) include at least one operator interface element (200) for operating and/or controlling and/or selecting and/or indicating different parameters and functions in the motor vehicle by the user.

A rearview mirror for a vehicle includes a substrate having a reflective surface thereon and an actuation mechanism coupled with the substrate. The actuation mechanism includes a mounting plate rotatably coupled with the substrate at a first end thereof and having a first pin extending outwardly from a side of the mounting plate in a direction parallel with the first end and spaced apart therefrom. The actuation mechanism also includes a toggle unit positionally fixed with respect to the substrate and rotatable about an axis between first and second positions, the toggle unit including a first cam body defining a first track having a first end at a first distance from the axis and a second end at a second distance from the axis that is greater than the first distance, the first pin of the mounting plate being slidably engaged with the first track.

A rearview mirror for a vehicle includes a housing defining an interior cavity and an actuation mechanism. The actuation mechanism includes a mounting plate rotatably coupled within the cavity of the housing at a first end thereof and a spring plate coupled with the mounting plate at a first coupling and slidably coupled with the mounting plate at a second coupling. The spring plate defines a resiliently deformable spring portion positioned between the first and second couplings and an arm portion extending away from the second coupling opposite the spring portion. The actuation mechanism further includes a toggle barrel positioned within the interior cavity of the housing and rotatable between first and second positions to compress the spring portion of the spring plate by movement of the arm portion by sliding of the spring plate with respect to the second coupling.

A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element having a glass substrate with a planar front surface and a circumferential edge along the periphery of the glass substrate. A mounting element is disposed at the rear of the mirror reflective element and includes a pivot element that is configured to pivotally mount the mirror reflective element at the vehicle. A plastic molding receives the mirror reflective element therein such that a portion of the plastic molding is circumferentially disposed about the circumferential edge of the glass substrate without overlapping onto the front surface of the glass substrate. The portion of the plastic molding provides a curved rounded transition from the front surface of the glass substrate to a side surface of the plastic molding. The plastic molding includes at least a portion of a mirror housing of the interior rearview mirror assembly.

An interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element having a glass substrate with planar front and rear surfaces. A plastic molding is circumferentially disposed about a circumferential edge of the glass substrate without overlapping onto the front surface of the glass substrate. The plane of the front surface of the glass substrate is generally flush with an outermost part of the plastic molding, which provides a curved rounded transition from the front surface of the mirror reflective element to a side surface of the plastic molding. The plastic molding includes at least a portion of a mirror housing of the interior rearview mirror assembly. The plastic molding includes structure for attaching a rear mirror casing cap portion thereat. With the rear mirror casing cap portion attached at the structure, the rear mirror casing cap portion at least partially encases a rear portion of the plastic molding.

An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a reflective element disposed at a housing. The housing and the reflective element are tandemly and pivotally adjustable about a mounting structure mounted at an interior portion of the vehicle to provide a desired rearward field of view to a driver of the vehicle. A user input is actuatable by the driver of the vehicle. A motorized actuator is operable responsive to actuation of the user input to tilt the reflective element and the housing in tandem about a horizontal axis. Responsive to actuation of the motorized actuator responsive to the user input, the motorized actuator tandemly tilts the reflective element and the housing about the horizontal axis to orientate an outermost front surface of the reflective element more towards the driver or more away from the driver.
