Since the microphone 410 and the speaker 420 are installed in the room mirror main body 100 which is installed at a position close to the driver, the quality of the input / output signal is improved and can be used very conveniently.

In addition, the driving fare information display means, if you want to adjust the angle of the both side mirrors 103 coupled to the angle adjustable means 140 on both sides of the middle mirror 102 of the room mirror main body 100 When the operation unit of the operation unit 200 or the operation unit provided at both sides of the driver's seat is pressed, power is applied to the motor 190 so that the feed screw rod 180 rotates, whereby the slider 170 is linear along the guider 160. Both side mirrors 103 are hinged to the hinge parts 150, 151, and 152 through the fixing parts 141 and 142 on the rear case 120 and the slider 170. The angle is adjusted by rotating upward and downward based on the first hinge part 150 in accordance with the rotation direction of the motor 190.

As described above, the multi-function room mirror of the multi-function room mirror of the vehicle is provided by a parking guide display means in which a guide display plate and a contact display plate are provided on the rear case seen from the outside of the vehicle of the room mirror main body installed at the upper front side of the driver's seat. When parking the taxi can be displayed by pressing the switch and the contact information is very convenient to use in various vehicles, there is an advantage that contributes to traffic communication.

In addition, since the fare information display means is provided on the lower side, the driver can easily operate the taxi by pressing the tack switch according to the driving situation such as stopping, driving or surcharge, and the fare information displayed on the display module by the driver and the passenger. There is an advantage that can be easily confirmed in a comfortable position.

In addition, since the microphone and the speaker of the hands-free means are coupled to the room mirror main body so as to input and output the signal of the cellular phone with high quality, there is an advantage that it can communicate safely and clearly even while the driver is driving.

In addition, since both mirrors on both sides of the middle mirror of the room mirror main body are automatically adjusted by the angle adjusting means, the angle of both mirrors can be easily adjusted as necessary to observe a wider range. have.

Therefore, the multi-function room mirror of the vehicle according to the present invention can display the parking guidance information and the driving fare information, has a hands-free function, and can adjust the angle of the mirrors on both sides so that the driver's rear view can be expanded to a wide range. It can be used very conveniently in cars, including the effect, which can greatly improve the value and competitiveness of the product.
