INTEGRATED REAR VIEW MIRROR WITH AUXILIARY MIRROR FOR VISUAL FIELD DEAD ANGLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated rear view mirror, in which an auxiliary mirror for visual field dead angles is fitted into a main mirror of a mirror face of the rear view mirror, in order to grasp a whole image of a wide angle visual field as a whole in a natural visual-contact state without moving a view point so as to also view a directly horizontal, oblique and rear vehicle that is in a dead angle by a normal rear view mirror of a vehicle.;SOLUTION: The integrated rear view mirror is divided into two of the auxiliary mirror and main mirror. Then, a quarter portion, in which the whole mirror face of the rear view mirror of a square shape is almost divided by four, is used as the auxiliary mirror in order to eliminate visual field dead angles, and a remaining portion is used as the main mirror for viewing a whole scene. Thereby, the integrated rear view mirror is made to have a type, in which the auxiliary mirror of the quarter portion is fitted into the outer bottom corner of the whole mirror face of the rear view mirror, by a view point from a driver seat. Since the rear view mirror is the integrated type, a whole viewing-field state can be easily grasped in a wide angle also including dead angles without moving any view point.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
