[0044] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0045] The rearview mirror 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The rearview mirror 100 may be an interior rearview mirror 100 or an exterior rearview mirror 100. The driver may observe the road conditions around the vehicle through the rearview mirror 100.

[0046] The rearview mirror 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first mounting bracket 1 , a second mounting bracket 2 , a display unit 3 and an anti-glare unit 4 .

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 A first installation space 11 is formed in the first installation bracket 1, and the display unit 3 is arranged in the first installation space 11. The side wall of the first installation bracket 1 can surround the outer periphery of the display unit 3. Optionally, the display unit 3 can be bonded to the first installation bracket 1. Thus, the display unit 3 can be conveniently fixed to the first installation bracket 1.

[0048] The second mounting bracket 2 is connected to the front side of the first mounting bracket 1, a second mounting space 21 is formed in the second mounting bracket 2, and the anti-glare unit 4 is arranged in the second mounting space 21. The side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 can surround the outer periphery of the anti-glare unit 4. Optionally, the anti-glare unit 4 can be bonded to the second mounting bracket 2. Thus, the anti-glare unit 4 can be conveniently fixed to the second mounting bracket 2.

[0049] It should be noted that when a human body stands facing the rearview mirror 100, the side of the rearview mirror 100 facing the human body is the "front side" described in the embodiment of the present application, and correspondingly, the side of the rearview mirror 100 facing away from the human body is the "rear side" described in the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] The anti-glare unit 4 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the anti-glare unit 4 presents a mirror surface. In the second state, the anti-glare unit 4 is configured to transmit the outgoing light of the display unit 3 .

[0051] Specifically, in the first state, the anti-glare unit 4 can reflect the external ambient light irradiated on the anti-glare unit 4, so that the anti-glare unit 4 forms a mirror surface, and the rearview mirror 100 can have the function of a mirror rearview mirror 100. In the second state, the anti-glare unit 4 can transmit the external ambient light incident from the outside, and the external ambient light can be irradiated onto the display unit 3 through the anti-glare unit 4, and the output light of the display unit 3 can transmit the anti-glare unit 4, so that the display unit 3 can display the picture. At this time, the rearview mirror 100 has the function of a streaming media rearview mirror 100. In this way, the rearview mirror 100 can have the functions of a mirror rearview mirror 100 and a streaming media rearview mirror 100, and the user can switch the state of the anti-glare unit 4 according to actual needs to ensure driving safety.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 is smaller than the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the first mounting bracket 1. It is understandable that when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the first state, when looking backward from the front side of the rearview mirror 100, the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 is visible, and at this time, the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 is the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 (e.g. Figure 6When the anti-glare unit 4 is in the second state, when looking backward from the front of the rearview mirror 100, the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 and part of the front end surface of the side wall of the first mounting bracket 1 are visible. At this time, the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the first mounting bracket 1 is the width of the frame of the rearview mirror 100 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown). Figure 1 The dimension b1 in FIG. 1 shows the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the first state. Figure 1 Dimension b2 in FIG. 1 shows the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the second state.

[0053] According to the rearview mirror 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 to be smaller than the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the first mounting bracket 1, when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the first state, the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 can be reduced, thereby realizing a narrow frame design of the rearview mirror 100, so that the mirror area of ​​the rearview mirror 100 is larger and the appearance is more beautiful.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 remains constant in the direction from front to back. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the direction from front to back, the thickness of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 remains unchanged, and at this time, the thickness of any side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 is equal to the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2. Thus, the structure of the second mounting bracket 2 can be simplified, which is conducive to improving processing efficiency.

[0055] In other embodiments of the present invention, a first inclined portion 22 is provided on the inner surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2, and a second inclined portion 41 cooperating with the first inclined portion 22 is provided on the anti-glare unit 4, and in the direction from front to rear, the first inclined portion 22 extends in the direction close to the central axis of the second mounting space 21.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the first inclined portion 22 can be arranged close to the front end surface of the second mounting bracket 2. Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the first inclined portion 22 can extend to the front end surface of the second mounting bracket 2. The second inclined portion 41 of the anti-glare unit 4 corresponds to the first inclined portion 22. Therefore, by providing the first inclined portion 22 on the inner surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 and providing the second inclined portion 41 on the anti-glare unit 4 to match the first inclined portion 22, the contact area between the anti-glare unit 4 and the second mounting bracket 2 can be increased, and while the connection reliability between the anti-glare unit 4 and the second mounting bracket 2 is improved, the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 is reduced, thereby reducing the frame width of the rearview mirror 100.

[0057] In addition, by utilizing the cooperation between the first inclined portion 22 and the second inclined portion 41, when the rearview mirror 100 is subjected to a side impact, the anti-glare unit 4 can move along the first inclined portion 22, thereby buffering the side impact, helping the anti-glare unit 4 to absorb impact energy and reduce its deformation, thereby reducing the failure rate of the anti-glare unit 4 and improving the reliability of the rearview mirror 100.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the direction from front to back, the first inclined portion 22 gradually inclines toward the direction close to the central axis of the second installation space 21. Thus, the structure of the second installation bracket 2 can be simplified, the production cycle can be shortened, and the production cost can be saved.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the first inclined portion 22 and the second inclined portion 41 can be formed as inclined planes, which not only simplifies the structure of the rearview mirror 100, simplifies the processing of the rearview mirror 100, but also improves the stability of the cooperation between the first inclined portion 22 and the second inclined portion 41. At the same time, when the rearview mirror 100 is impacted from the side, it is convenient for the anti-glare unit 4 to move along the first inclined portion 22, so that the side impact can be effectively buffered, the impact energy can be absorbed, and the deformation of the anti-glare unit 4 can be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the failure rate of the anti-glare unit 4 and improving the reliability of the rearview mirror 100.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the display unit 3 includes a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area is located outside the non-display area, and the non-display area is opposite to the front end surface of the first mounting bracket 1 so as to shield the non-display area through the front end surface of the first mounting bracket 1. It can be understood that the non-display area can be formed outside at least one side edge of the display area. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, a non-display area is provided outside each edge of the display area. In this case, the non-display area is formed in a ring shape and surrounds the periphery of the display area. The non-display area can be used to arrange the circuits of the display unit 3, etc.

[0061] Optionally, the inner contour of the projection area of ​​the front end surface of the first mounting bracket 1 on the display unit 3 coincides with the inner contour of the non-display area, or the inner contour of the projection area of ​​the front end surface of the first mounting bracket 1 on the display unit 3 is located inside the inner contour of the non-display area. Thus, it can be ensured that the front end surface of the first mounting bracket 1 can completely block the non-display area of ​​the display unit 3, avoiding the exposure of the circuit of the display unit 3, and improving the appearance of the rearview mirror 100.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the anti-glare unit 4 has a first area 42 and a second area 43, the second area 43 surrounds the periphery of the first area 42, the first area 42 is opposite to the display area, and in the second state, the first area 42 is transparent. Fig. 9 As shown, the second area 43 is formed in a ring shape and surrounds the outer periphery of the first area 42. In the second state, by making the first area 42 transparent, it is beneficial for the external ambient light to pass through the first area 42 and illuminate the display unit 3, and the output light of the display unit 3 can pass through the first area 42, so that the display quality of the display unit 3 can be guaranteed and the anti-glare unit 4 can avoid interfering with the display screen of the display unit 3.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the second state, the second area 43 is in a mirror state. Specifically, when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the second state, the first area 42 is in a transparent state, and the second area 43 is in a mirror state. In this way, the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 can be partially shielded by the second area 43, so that the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 in the second state can be visually reduced, and the appearance of the rearview mirror 100 is further optimized.

[0064] According to other embodiments of the present invention, in the second state, the second area 43 is formed as a pattern area. In this embodiment, in the second state, the first area 42 is transparent, and a pattern may be presented on the second area 43 to form a pattern area. The pattern on the second area 43 may be a texture image, a landscape image, an animal or plant image, etc. Thus, the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 in the second state can also be visually reduced.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the orthographic projection of the first area 42 on the display unit 3 coincides with the display area. Thus, the display quality of the display unit 3 can be guaranteed, and the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 in the second state can be minimized.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 is located in front of the anti-glare unit 4, and the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 extends inwardly beyond the outer edge of the anti-glare unit 4. Figure 2 As shown, the front end face of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 blocks part of the anti-glare unit 4. In this way, the circuits at the edge of the anti-glare unit 4 can be blocked by the front end face of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 to prevent the circuits in the anti-glare unit 4 from being exposed, and the front end face of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 can limit the anti-glare unit 4, making the position in the anti-glare unit 4 more stable.

[0067] Since the anti-glare unit 4 has fewer circuits, the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 can extend inward to a position that exceeds the outer edge of the anti-glare unit 4 by about 1 mm.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the anti-glare unit 4 includes: an anti-glare screen 44 and a semi-reflective and semi-transparent film 45. The anti-glare screen 44 includes a first substrate 441 and a second substrate 442 that are arranged opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal 443 arranged between the first substrate 441 and the second substrate 442. The second substrate 442 is located on a side of the first substrate 441 adjacent to the display unit 3. At least one side edge of the second substrate 442 extends beyond the first substrate 441. The portion of the second substrate 442 that exceeds the first substrate 441 forms a frame area 444. The semi-reflective and semi-transparent film 45 is located between the anti-glare screen 44 and the display unit 3.

[0069] Specifically, one or more side edges of the second substrate 442 may extend beyond the first substrate 441 to form a border area 444. Fig.12 In the example of FIG. 4 , the upper edge of the second substrate 442 extends beyond the first substrate 441 . The frame area 444 is formed at the upper edge of the second substrate 442 . Fig.13 In the example of , the lower edge of the second substrate 442 extends beyond the first substrate 441. Fig.14 In the example of FIG. 4 , the right edge of the second substrate 442 extends beyond the first substrate 441. In this way, it is convenient to set components such as a photosensor on the anti-glare unit 4.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 The first substrate 441 and the second substrate 442 can encapsulate the liquid crystal 443 therebetween. The semi-transparent and semi-reflective film is disposed on the side of the second substrate 442 away from the liquid crystal 443. A first electrode 446 is disposed on the side of the first substrate 441 close to the liquid crystal 443, and a second electrode 447 is disposed on the side of the second substrate 442 close to the liquid crystal 443. An electric field is formed between the first electrode 446 and the second electrode 447, and the electric field can drive the liquid crystal 443 to deflect, so that changing the direction of the electric field can control the angle of deflection of the liquid crystal 443, and in the first state, the liquid crystal 443 is deflected to an angle corresponding to the first state (such as Fig.10 As shown), in the second state, the liquid crystal 443 is deflected to an angle corresponding to the second state (as shown Fig.11 shown).

[0071] It should be noted that the first electrode 446 and the second electrode 447 may be electrodes of any shape, such as planar electrodes, strip electrodes, slit electrodes, etc., which are not limited here.

[0072] A first polarizer 445 is disposed on the side of the first substrate 441 away from the liquid crystal 443. When ambient light enters the anti-glare unit 4, the ambient light becomes linearly polarized light after passing through the first polarizer 445. The liquid crystal 443 modulates the polarization state of the linearly polarized light through different deflection angles. If the liquid crystal 443 is deflected to an angle corresponding to the first state (e.g. Fig.10 As shown), the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light component passing through the liquid crystal 443 can be made parallel to the elongation direction of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, so that the light component is reflected out of the anti-glare unit 4, so that the anti-glare unit 4 forms a mirror surface; if the liquid crystal 443 is deflected to an angle corresponding to the second state (as shown Fig.11 As shown), the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light component passing through the liquid crystal 443 can be made not parallel to the elongation direction of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective film, so that the light component is transmitted, allowing the display unit 3 to display the picture.

[0073] The display unit 3 includes a display panel 31 . A second polarizer 32 is disposed on one side of the display panel 31 close to the anti-glare unit 4 . The second polarizer 32 is used to assist the display panel 31 in displaying. A third polarizer 33 may also be disposed on the opposite side of the display panel 31 and the second polarizer 32 .

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rearview mirror 100 further includes a photosensitive sensor, which is disposed in the frame area 444. The photosensitive sensor can sense light intensity. The anti-glare unit 4 can adjust the polarization state of the incident ambient light by controlling the voltage loaded on the anti-glare unit 4 according to the light intensity sensed by the photosensitive sensor, and adjust the reflection of the incident ambient light through the semi-reflective and semi-transparent film 45; similarly, the polarization state of the image light transmitted from the semi-reflective and semi-transparent film 45 can be adjusted by controlling the voltage loaded on the anti-glare unit 4.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the border area 444 is located on the upper side of the second substrate 442 . Figure 6 The front view of the rearview mirror 100 is shown when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the first state when the frame area 444 is formed on the upper side of the second substrate 442. By setting the frame area 444 on the upper side of the second substrate 442, the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 can be visually reduced, and the appearance of the rearview mirror 100 can be optimized.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first mounting bracket 1 and the mounting bracket are integrally formed. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 can be integrally injection molded. Thus, the processing technology of the rearview mirror 100 can be simplified, the connection strength of the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 can be improved, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the rearview mirror 100 and improving the structural strength of the rearview mirror 100.

[0077] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments of the present invention, the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 may also be separate structures. In this case, the first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 may be processed independently, and then the first mounting bracket 1 is connected to the second mounting bracket 2. The first mounting bracket 1 and the second mounting bracket 2 may be connected as a whole by bonding or welding, or by fasteners, buckles, etc.

[0078] The vehicle according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises the rearview mirror 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] According to the vehicle of the second aspect embodiment of the present invention, by setting the rearview mirror 100 according to the above-mentioned first aspect embodiment of the present invention, and by setting the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the second mounting bracket 2 to be smaller than the width of the front end surface of the side wall of the first mounting bracket 1, when the anti-glare unit 4 is in the first state, the frame width of the rearview mirror 100 can be reduced, thereby realizing the narrow frame design of the rearview mirror 100, so that the mirror area of ​​the rearview mirror 100 is larger and the appearance is more beautiful.

[0080] Other components and operations of the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
