Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, an electrochromic rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes an electrochromic mirror (110, 920) having a variable reflectivity, a glare sensor (160, 234) for sensing levels of light directed towards the front element from the rear of the vehicle, an ambient sensor (232) for sensing levels of ambient light, a display (146, 170) positioned behind the partially transmissive, partially reflective portion of the reflector for displaying information therethrough;
and a control circuit (230, 900) coupled to the sensors and the display. The control circuit determines whether daytime or nightime conditions are present as a function of the ambient light level sensed by the glare sensor to control a contrast ratio of light originating from the display and light reflecting from the partially transmissive, partially reflective area of the reflector.

Claims (64)

1. A rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle comprising:
a mirror comprising a reflector having a partially transmissive, partially reflective area;
a first sensor for sensing light levels;
a display positioned behind the partially transmissive, partially reflective portion of said reflector for displaying information therethrough; and a control circuit coupled to said first sensor and said display, said control circuit determines whether daytime or nighttime conditions are present, and, during daytime conditions, said control circuit responds to light levels sensed by said first sensor to control a contrast ratio of light originating from said display and light reflecting from said partially transmissive, partially reflective area of said reflector.
2. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 1, wherein said mirror is an electrochromic mirror having a variable reflectivity, said electrochromic mirror comprising:
front and rear elements each having front and rear surfaces;
a transparent first electrode including a layer of conductive material carried on a surface of one of said elements;
a second electrode carried on a surface of one of said elements;
an electrochromic material contained between said elements and having a variable transmissivity; and a second sensor for sensing levels of ambient light, wherein said first sensor is a glare sensor for sensing levels of light directed at said mirror from the rear of the vehicle, wherein said reflector is carried on a surface of said rear element, wherein said second electrode is integrated with said reflector when said reflector is carried on the front surface of said rear element, and wherein said control circuit is coupled to said first and second electrodes for controlling the reflectivity of said electrochromic mirror in response to light levels sensed by said sensors.
3. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 2, wherein said control circuit controls the contrast ratio by reducing the reflectivity of at least a portion of said electrochromic mirror.
4. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 3, wherein said control circuit controls the contrast ratio by additionally increasing the brightness level of said display.
5. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 1, wherein said control circuit controls the contrast ratio by increasing the brightness level of said display.
6. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 2, wherein during nighttime conditions, said control circuit controls the reflectivity of said electrochromic mirror in response to light levels sensed by said sensors, and reduces the brightness level of said display relative to the display brightness levels during daytime conditions.
7. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 6, wherein said control circuit transmits a display brightness control signal to at least one additional display remote from the rearview mirror assembly to which the at least one additional display responds by varying its brightness level.
8. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 7, wherein said control circuit transmits a display brightness control signal that varies the brightness level of the at least one additional display between two different brightness levels.
9. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 7, wherein said control circuit transmits a display brightness control signal that varies the brightness level of the at least one additional display throughout a range of different brightness levels.
10. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 1, wherein said control circuit varies the brightness level of said display during nighttime conditions.
11. The rearview mirror assembly of claim 1, wherein said control circuit determines whether daytime or nighttime conditions are present by comparing light levels sensed by said first sensor to a threshold.
