6results about "Rear-view mirrors" patented technology

A cabin illumination device is provided on a wall surface of a cabin of a vehicle and illuminates the cabin and includes: a light source disposed to emit light away from the wall surface; and a reflective member disposed to intersect a light axis of light emitted by the light source. The reflective member includes a first protruded surface disposed to intersect the light axis of the light source, and a portion of the reflective member is sloped downward in a direction away from an intersection of the light axis and the first protruded surface.

A rearview mirror with a light is provided, which includes a lens, a housing, and a fixing mechanism. The lens is assembled on a front of the housing, the fixing mechanism is provide on the housing, and the lens is assembled with an original vehicle rearview mirror; a light groove is provided in the housing, and a light source is provided in the light groove; the light source is connected to a circuit board, and the circuit board is connected to a battery. The battery and circuit board are provided together in the housing, and the light source, circuit board, and battery are covered in the housing by the lens. After installing the entire rearview mirror on the original rearview mirror, only turning on the light source can illuminate the back of the lens, enabling a user to look in the mirror, apply makeup, etc. in dim conditions.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system is disclosed. The system may comprise a light assembly, an imager, and / or a controller. The light assembly may be configured to emit an array of illumination elements onto a scene. The imager may be configured to capture one or more images of the illumination elements projected onto the scene. The controller may be configured to selectively activate the light assembly between a first state and a second state. In the first and second sates, respectively, first and second groups of the illumination elements are selectively activated to emit first and second patterns of illumination elements.

The present disclosure relates to a system (10, 10') comprising a light assembly for an illumination of a vehicle design element, comprising: one or more light pipes (1, 1', 1a, 1b), wherein each light pipe (1, 1', 1a, 1b) comprises a core (11'); one or more light sources (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2'), disposed at least partially within an interior of the system, wherein each light source (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2') is configured to emit light (20') based on at least receiving electrical power from an electrical power source, and each light source (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2') is arranged adjacent to and directed towards at least one of the one or more light pipes (1, 1', 1a, 1b) such that the emitted light (20') results in reflected light (21') propagating within the core (11') and diffuse light (22') exiting the one or more light pipes (1, 1', 1a, 1b) along the same; and a lens (5') substantially enclosing the interior, the one or more light pipes (1, 1', 1a, 1b) and the one or more light sources (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2'), wherein the lens (5'), having an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface, is provided with a continuous transparent and / or translucent coating on the outer surface, with the one or more light sources (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2') receiving electrical power from the electrical power source, the continuous transparent and / or translucent coating is at least partially permeable to at least some of the diffuse light (22') which is passed through the lens (5'), and the continuous transparent and / or translucent coating comprises a metal, an alloy or a conductive metalloid. The one or more light pipes (1, 1', 1a, 1b) comprise two or more light pipes (1, 1', 1a, 1b), wherein the two or more light pipes (1, 1',1a, 1b) at least partially overlap, providing at least one region of overlap to substantially close a loop, to provide a homogenous illumination of at least one 360° illumination window (41') when the one or more light sources (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2') receive electrical power from the electrical power source.

This device (10) is configured to be positioned at the top of a vehicle windshield (100) comprising a housing (20) and a rear-vision mirror (40) integrated into the housing (20) configured to reflect visible light to reproduce a road scene. It further comprises an optical module (60) including a source emitting a beam (F2) of infrared light, housed within the housing (20). The mirror (40) forms a dichroic optical component configured to allow the passage of infrared light through the mirror (40) and towards a predefined target area (Z), such as a driver's seat of the motor vehicle.
