Vehicular visual recognition device
View Patent ↗There is provided a vehicular visual recognition device including: an imaging section that is provided at a rear of a vehicle and that captures images rearward of a vehicle; a display section that displays an image captured by the imaging section; an optical mirror that is provided at a display face side of the display section, that transmits the captured image being displayed when the display section is in a display state, and that reflects light from rearward of the vehicle when the display section is in a non-display state; and a controller that controls the display section so as to switch the display state of the display section in accordance with a predetermined signal.
1. A vehicular visual recognition device comprising:
a camera that is provided at a rear of a vehicle and that captures images rearward of a vehicle;
a monitor that displays an image captured by the camera;
an optical mirror that is provided at a display face side of the monitor, that transmits the captured image being displayed when the monitor is in a display state, and that reflects light from rearward of the vehicle when the monitor is in a non-display state; and
a controller that controls the monitor so as to switch the display state of the monitor in accordance with a predetermined signal in at least one of:
the non-display state when a signal indicating opening of a back door has been detected as the predetermined signal;
the display state when a signal indicating closing of the back door has been detected as the predetermined signal;
the display state when a signal indicating seating of an occupant in the center of a rear seat has been detected as the predetermined signal, and
the non-display state when a signal indicating that an occupant is not seated in the center of a rear seat has been detected as the predetermined signal.
2. A vehicular visual recognition device comprising:
a camera that is provided at a rear of a vehicle and that captures images rearward of a vehicle;
a monitor that displays an image captured by the camera;
an optically adjustable mirror that is provided at a display face side of the monitor, and that is able to switch a reflective state between transmitting the captured image being displayed and reflecting light from rearward of the vehicle; and
a controller that controls the optically adjustable mirror so as to switch the reflective state in accordance with a predetermined signal in at least one of:
reflecting when a signal indicating opening of the back door has been detected as the predetermined signal;
transmitting when a signal indicating closing of the back door has been detected as the predetermined signal;
transmitting when a signal indicating seating of an occupant in the center of the rear seat has been detected as the predetermined signal, and
reflecting when a signal indicating that an occupant is not seated in the center of the rear seat has been detected as the predetermined signal.
