[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The invention comprises one mirror piece and at least one luminescent display means. The mirror piece is a piece and has a front surface and a back surface, and one of the front surface and the back surface is plated with a semi-transparent semi-reflective thin film. These light emitting display means are combined behind the mirror piece, and the emitted light beam partially passes through the semi-translucent and semi-reflective thin film.

The semi-translucent semi-reflective thin film is made of chromium, aluminum, mercury or a material that can be used in place of them, and is formed by vacuum electroplating, vapor deposition or another equivalent method, and is semi-translucent semi-reflective. The thickness of the thin film is desirably between 0.005 micron and 0.05 micron, or its light transmittance is controlled between 8% and 10%, thereby having a good display effect.

[0008] Different displays or screens are selectively used as the light emitting display means of the present invention depending on the display information. For example, a seven-stage display, an LED display, an LCD display, a touch control type display, a fluorescent tube or Other equivalent means. The information to be displayed is displayed with letters, numbers, codes, or any other figures. The brightness of these light emitting display means can be adjusted so that they can be adapted to different use environments during the day or at night. For the mirror pieces, general colorless glass, colored glass, or other equivalent materials are used.

The information that can be displayed by the present invention includes all the electronic information of a car as follows. 1. Driving information: eg vehicle speed, engine speed, number of kilometers traveled, meter panel lights. 2. In-car audio information: For example, sound, VCD music selection / channel selection. 3. Mobile communication system: For example, mobile phone dial display, personal behavior data collection device. 4. Other information: eg time, rear laser detection information, finger north hand, inside and outside temperature, electronic receipt system, tire pressure.

[0010] The structure of the present invention is novel, has industrial utility value, and its function is surely enhanced.

[0011]

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a specific embodiment of the present invention. The interior mirror of this embodiment has a single accommodation space 10 recessed in the mirror seat 1 and a set of light-emitting display means in which a row of seven-stage display 31 and a row of LED displays 32 are combined. 3 is placed in the accommodation space 10, and the outer surface of the mirror sheet 1 is closed by one mirror piece 2.

The mirror piece 2 shown in FIG. 2 is made of colorless and transparent flaky glass and has one front surface 21 and one back surface 22. In this embodiment, a vacuum electric plating is applied to the rear surface 22 of the mirror piece 2. Chromium is then plated to form a 0.008 micron thick translucent transflective thin film 23. According to measurements, it has the property of transmitting 9% of the light from the back to the front of the mirror piece, i.e. it has a light transmission of 9% (the plating thickness of known mirrors is 0.08 micron to 0. 8 microns). Reaches 1 micron and does not transmit at all). When viewed from the front of the mirror with a human eye in a general use situation, the inside of the housing space 10 is sealed with a black ring, and the light emitting display means 3 inside cannot be seen. For this reason, the extraneous light rays are reflected by the thin film 23 and normally illuminate backward, and there is no difference between the appearance and the general mirror surface. However, when the seven-stage display 31 and the LED display 32 attached behind the mirror piece 2 emit light, a part of the light of the strong light source passes through the thin film 23 and is observed by the eyes of the person in front of the mirror. . Thus, the displayed information can be viewed. The brightness of the seven-stage display 31 and the brightness of the LED display 32 are adjustable. For example, the brightness in the daytime is relatively bright and the brightness in the nighttime is dark, so that it can be adapted to use requirements in different brightness environments.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which this embodiment is used in a vehicle. First, one data processor 4 collects telephone numbers input from a thin-film keyboard 5 provided on a handle, and transmits a signal to a vehicle interior mirror by a wireless method (of course, a wired method is also possible). As a result, the seven-stage display 31 emits and displays the inputted telephone number information. At this time, the driver can see the telephone number as shown in FIG. When not in use, the seven-stage display 31 does not emit light, that is, the reflection function of a general interior mirror is restored. Similarly, the left and right arrows on the two sides of the seven-stage display 31 illuminate and display the direction of the obstacle detected by the rear laser, and the figure code displayed on the LED display 32 indicates disconnection of the in-vehicle mobile phone and dial connection. , Call, or constant temperature information is displayed.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, the structure of which is almost the same as that of the previous embodiment, except that the interior mirror does not affect the rear line-of-sight area, and the LCD display is different. An indicator 33 is provided to display information on road conditions, finger north needles, and a touch-controlled screen 34 is provided for sound selection and channel selection functions.

[0015] Both of the above-mentioned interior mirrors have a function of displaying in-vehicle electronic information, and thus reduce the cost of using a plurality of screens individually and are convenient for the interior mirror to see. It is in a position, fully compliant with ergonomics, and both have enhanced functions over known techniques.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 The information-displayable interior mirror of the present invention reduces the cost, is convenient for checking, displays the electronic information generated in the vehicle directly to the mirror inside the vehicle, is completely ergonomic, and has practicality. , Novelty and industrial value. The embodiments described above do not limit the claims of the present invention, and any modification or alteration of details that can be made based on the present invention belongs to the claims of the present invention.
