Vehicle Rearview Mirror Split-Screen Display System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle rearview mirrors primarily reflect monotonous road conditions and lack flexibility in image display, failing to provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings.
Innovation Solution
An image display method and system for vehicle rearview mirrors that captures and displays multiple images, including vehicle environment images and multimedia content, in a split-screen manner on the rearview mirrors, using external and internal image obtaining modules, and allows users to select target images for full-screen display via a touch module.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional single-image reflection is used in rearview mirrors, then the mirror structure remains simple, but the image display flexibility and information richness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The rearview mirror display surface is segmented into multiple independent display regions, each capable of showing different images (rear camera view, front camera view, navigation, media). This segmentation allows the mirror to display multiple types of information simultaneously while maintaining a unified mirror structure, resolving the contradiction between display flexibility and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The rearview mirror is transformed into a multi-functional device that can display various types of content (surrounding environment, navigation, media playback) on a single display surface. This universal display capability eliminates the need for separate displays for different functions, improving adaptability while controlling overall system complexity.
2Loss of information
If multiple images are displayed simultaneously on the rearview mirror, then the information richness and comprehensive view are improved, but the image processing and display control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display surface is divided into multiple independent regions, with each region dedicated to displaying specific information (e.g., rear view, front view, navigation). This spatial segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple information types without requiring complex dynamic switching or processing, reducing the overall image processing complexity while maximizing information richness.
3Area of moving object
If only flat mirrors are used for inner rearview mirrors, then the manufacturing is simple, but the field of vision enlargement capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs convex mirrors for external rearview mirrors to expand the driver's field of vision. The curved surface of the convex mirror captures a wider angular range of the rear environment, projecting it onto the display surface. This curvature-based solution achieves field of vision enlargement while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes.
