Vehicle illumination device for vehicle rear view mirror

The present invention relates to a lighting device for a vehicle; and more particularly to a lighting device for a vehicle assembled in a rear view mirror of a vehicle, which can provide various warning lights and illumination modes.

The conventional vehicle rear view mirror is used to provide the driver with the function of viewing the image of the vehicle and surrounding images. However, the current driving environment is becoming more and more complicated, and the rear view mirror is extended by the body and has a dead angle in the field of view. Moreover, at night, due to the low ambient brightness, the image presented by the rear view mirror is not clear, which may easily affect the driving safety and cause a traffic accident.

In order to solve the above problems, it is very important to add an auxiliary warning device to the vehicle. A structure in which an indicator light is mounted on the rearview mirror of the vehicle has appeared on the market. These indicators usually illuminate with the vehicle's luminaires (eg, directional lights) to enhance the warning.

In the early days, such an indicator light only had a single color of light, and its illumination mode could only be flashed with the indication function of the direction light. Furthermore, the illuminating color is usually yellow-orange similar to the color of the directional light. However, with the current complex driving environment and the modern people's awareness of aesthetics, this kind of indicator light can only meet the needs of consumers with the function of single color light and illumination mode and the relatively rigid appearance.

Therefore, the illuminating device for vehicles with various illuminating colors and illuminating modes, and having a relatively fashionable appearance, still has great potential for development.

According to the above, the present invention provides a vehicle lighting device that can be assembled in a vehicle rear view mirror. In addition to being able to emit light separately, these automotive lighting devices can also be controlled by the control module on the vehicle to provide synchronization or non-synchronization with the original lamps (headlights, small lights, fog lights or direction lights, etc.) of the vehicle. The auxiliary lighting signal and various different lighting modes and lighting colors. In this way, the warning function for the remaining vehicle drivers or pedestrians is increased to reduce traffic accidents. Moreover, through the unique wedge-shaped structure of the illuminating device of the vehicle, not only the illuminating is more concentrated and uniform, but also the aesthetic effect of the appearance.

To achieve the above objective, in one embodiment, a vehicular illumination device for a vehicle rear view mirror is provided, comprising a first plate member, a second plate member, a back cover and a substrate. A plurality of spaced apart first wedges are disposed on one side of the first plate, and a hollow space is defined between each of the first wedges.
