Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle rearview mirror display screen structure. The rearview mirror includes: a housing 11; a display module 12 mounted on the housing 11, used to display road conditions on both sides of the vehicle; a camera module 13 mounted on the bottom of the housing 11, used to acquire road conditions on one side of the vehicle; and a controller 18 electrically connected to both the display module 12 and the camera module 13. The road conditions on one side of the vehicle acquired by the camera module 13 are transmitted to the controller 18, which then transmits them to the display module 12, thus displaying the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle through the display module 12 of the rearview mirror on one side of the vehicle. When the vehicle turns, the driver can simultaneously observe the conditions on both sides of the vehicle by only looking at the rearview mirror on one side (left or right), reducing the driver's need to look left and right and improving driving safety.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments, the display module 12 includes: a first mirror 121 for displaying road conditions on one side of the vehicle; a second mirror 122, both the second mirror 122 and the first mirror 121 are mounted on the housing 11, and the included angle between the second mirror 122 and the first mirror 121 is 95°-125°; and a liquid crystal display screen 123, mounted on one side of the housing 11 and located behind the second mirror 122, for displaying road conditions on the other side of the vehicle.

[0030] Preferably, when the vehicle turns left, the first mirror 121 of the left rearview mirror is used to display the road conditions on the left side of the vehicle, and the LCD screen 123 of the left rearview mirror is used to display the road conditions on the right side of the vehicle. The LCD screen 123 is located behind the second mirror 122. By observing the road conditions on the left side of the vehicle through the first mirror 121 of the left rearview mirror and observing the road conditions on the right side of the vehicle through the LCD screen 123 of the left rearview mirror, it is possible to observe the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle at the same time by only observing the left rearview mirror, reducing the driver's left and right look actions and improving driving safety.

[0031] Similarly, when the vehicle turns right, the first mirror 121 of the right-side rearview mirror displays the road conditions on the right side of the vehicle, and the LCD screen 123 of the right-side rearview mirror displays the road conditions on the left side of the vehicle. By observing the road conditions on the right side of the vehicle through the first mirror 121 of the right-side rearview mirror and observing the road conditions on the left side of the vehicle through the LCD screen 123 of the right-side rearview mirror, it is possible to observe the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle simultaneously by only observing the right-side rearview mirror, reducing the driver's left and right look actions and improving driving safety.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the camera module 13 includes: a camera 131, which is mounted on the bottom of the housing 11; and a first data line 132, one end of which is electrically connected to the camera 131 and the other end of which is electrically connected to the controller 18.

[0033] Preferably, the camera 131 is electrically connected to the controller 18 via the first data line 132. When the vehicle turns left, the camera 131 located at the bottom of the right rearview mirror acquires the road conditions on the right and transmits the road conditions on the right to the controller 18. The controller 18 transmits the road conditions on the right to the LCD screen 123 of the left rearview mirror. The driver can observe the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle at the same time by only observing the first mirror 121 of the left rearview mirror and the LCD screen 123.

[0034] Similarly, when the vehicle turns right, the camera 131 located at the bottom of the left rearview mirror acquires the road conditions on the left and transmits the road conditions on the left to the controller 18. The controller 18 transmits the road conditions on the left to the LCD screen 123 of the right rearview mirror. The driver can observe the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle at the same time by only observing the first mirror 121 of the left rearview mirror and the LCD screen 123.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, the rearview mirror further includes a glass cover plate 15, which is disposed at the edges of the first mirror surface 121 and the second mirror surface 122. The glass cover plate 15 serves to protect the first mirror surface 121 and the second mirror surface 122.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, both the first mirror 121 and the second mirror 122 are provided with an A surface and a B surface, and the B surface of both the first mirror 121 and the second mirror 122 is used for silver plating.

[0037] Specifically, after silvering the B side of the rearview mirror, the transmittance of the B side is reduced, meaning that the road conditions can be clearly observed through the A side of the rearview mirror.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the transmittance of the first mirror 121 is 30%-40%; the transmittance of the second mirror 122 is 40%-50%.

[0039] Preferably, the transmittance of the first mirror 121 is less than that of the second mirror 122. In order to better observe the liquid crystal display screen 123 on the back of the second mirror 122, the B-side of the second mirror 122 is silvered to make the transmittance of the second mirror 122 40%-50%, which makes it easy to observe the image on the liquid crystal display screen 123; the B-side of the first mirror 121 is silvered to make the transmittance of the first mirror 121 30%-40%, which makes it easy to observe the road conditions on one side of the vehicle.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the rearview mirror also includes an OCA optical tape 14, which is disposed between the liquid crystal display screen 123 and the second mirror 122, and the liquid crystal display screen 123 is mounted on the back of the glass cover plate 15 at the edge of the second mirror 122 by means of the OCA optical tape 14.

[0041] OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) is one of the raw materials for touch screens. It is made by creating a substrate-free optical acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and then attaching an optical release film to the top and bottom layers to form a double-sided adhesive tape. It is a substrate-free double-sided adhesive tape with advantages such as high cleanliness, high light transmittance, low haze, high adhesion, no crystal points, no bubbles, water resistance, high temperature resistance, and UV resistance. In addition, its thickness is uniform and its flatness is high. Its refractive index is close to that of glass, PC, and PMMA. It will not yellow, age, fog, detach from the bonded surface, or form bubbles after long-term use. It is suitable for bonding transparent optical components (such as lenses). OCA optical tape 14 attaches the liquid crystal display screen 123 to the side of the housing 11, so that the driver can observe the road conditions on the other side displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 123 while observing the first mirror surface 121 of the rearview mirror.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the angle between the first mirror 121 and the second mirror 122 is 105°. This allows for observation of the road conditions on one side of the vehicle through the first mirror 121 and on the other side through the liquid crystal display screen 123 on the second mirror 122, thus enabling simultaneous observation of both sides of the vehicle and improving driving safety.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, the rearview mirror also includes a circuit board 16 connected to the liquid crystal display screen 123; and a second data line 17, one end of which is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display screen 123, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the controller 18.

[0045] Preferably, the LCD screen 123 is electrically connected to the controller 18 via the second data line 17, and the camera 131 is electrically connected to the controller 18 via the first data line 132. Therefore, when the vehicle turns left, the camera 131 located at the bottom of the right rearview mirror acquires the road conditions on the right and transmits the road conditions on the right to the controller 18. The controller 18 transmits the road conditions on the right to the LCD screen 123 of the left rearview mirror. The driver can observe the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle at the same time by only observing the first mirror 121 of the left rearview mirror and the LCD screen 123.

[0046] Similarly, when the vehicle turns right, the camera 131 located at the bottom of the left rearview mirror acquires the road conditions on the left and transmits the road conditions on the left to the controller 18. The controller 18 transmits the road conditions on the left to the LCD screen 123 of the right rearview mirror. The driver can observe the road conditions on both sides of the vehicle at the same time by only observing the first mirror 121 of the left rearview mirror and the LCD screen 123.

[0047] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a vehicle including a rearview mirror display screen structure. By applying the rearview mirror display screen structure to the rearview mirror of the vehicle, the driver can observe the situation on both sides of the vehicle body at the same time by observing only one side of the rearview mirror, reducing the driver's left and right look actions and improving driving safety.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
