Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotally adjustable about a mirror support. The mirror head includes a video display device disposed rearward of a prismatic mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector. A touch sensor is disposed at the prismatic mirror reflective element and is associated with circuitry at a flexible printed circuit of the video display device. The video display device is operable to display video images captured by a rearward viewing camera of the vehicle. Light emitted by the video display device passes through the transflective mirror reflector for viewing of displayed video images by the driver of the vehicle viewing the prismatic mirror reflective element. The reflective region of the transflective mirror reflector of the prismatic mirror reflective element reflects at least 40 percent of visible light incident at the front side of the prismatic mirror reflective element.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a base, a handle, and a deployment mechanism operable to move the handle between a recessed position and a deployed position. The deployment mechanism includes a return cam biased in a first direction relative to the base. The deployment mechanism, with the handle in the recessed position, secures the return cam relative to the base. The handle is manually movable beyond the recessed position away from the deployed position to actuate the deployment mechanism. The deployment mechanism, responsive to being actuated, releases the return cam and the return cam moves in the first direction to move the handle toward the deployed position. The handle is manually movable beyond the deployed position away from the recessed position to actuate a latch of the door. The deployment mechanism, responsive to the handle actuating the latch, moves the handle toward the recessed position.

Abstract: A vehicular imaging system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and a camera device disposed at a body portion of the vehicle. The camera device includes structure that supports a camera and that is movable between a stowed position, where the structure and camera are within the body portion, and an extended position, where the structure and camera are extended outward from the body portion so that the camera is positioned with a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The structure includes a plurality of individually movable elements that are disposed adjacent one another and that cooperate to form the outer surface. The individually movable elements, when moved relative to the body portion of the vehicle, cooperate to extend and retract the camera. The camera, when the structure is in the extended position, captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head that is pivotally attached via a pivot joint at a mounting structure and that accommodates a reflective element. A display device is disposed within the mirror head. An actuator is disposed within the mirror head and includes an actuator base attached at a rear portion of the reflective element, an actuator body that is pivotally attached at the actuator base, and an electrically operable motor. When the motor is electrically operated, the actuator body pivots relative to the actuator base to pivot the mirror head relative to a socket element of the pivot joint. Pivotal movement of the mirror head relative to the socket element adjusts the reflective element between a mirror mode orientation and a display mode orientation. When the reflective element is in the display mode orientation, the display device is actuated to display video images.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head having a mirror reflective element with a transflective mirror reflector. A video display device is disposed rearward of the mirror reflective element and has a display screen that occupies at least 85 percent of a reflective region of the transflective mirror reflector that is visible to a driver of the vehicle when viewing the mirror reflective element. The video display device is operable to display video images captured by a rearward viewing camera of the vehicle. When the video display device is operated to display video images, light emitted by the video display device passes through the transflective mirror reflector of the mirror reflective element for viewing of displayed video images by the driver of the vehicle viewing the mirror reflective element. Light emitted by the video display device may exit the mirror reflective element as circularly polarized light.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mirror mount that mounts at the vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly at an interior surface of a vehicle. The mirror head includes an actuator having a mirror-attaching portion attached at a back plate at the rear of the reflective element and a mount-attaching portion attached at the mirror mount and pivotable relative to the mirror-attaching portion. The actuator includes a pair of motors operable to rotatably drive respective gears that impart pivotal movement of the mirror-attaching portion relative to the mount-attaching portion. At least in part responsive to processing of captured image data, the actuator adjusts the mirror head and a driver-monitoring camera accommodated by the mirror head relative to the mirror mount to position the face of the driver of the vehicle within a field of view of the driver-viewing camera.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustable relative to a mounting base. The mirror head accommodates a mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector and a video display device disposed behind the mirror reflective element and operable to display video images derived from image data captured by a camera of the vehicle. The displayed video images are viewable through the transflective mirror reflector by a driver of the vehicle. Responsive to determination of a glare light source present in a field of view of the camera, intensity of a portion of the displayed video images that corresponds to the glare light source is reduced relative to adjacent portions of the displayed video images.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element. An actuator is electrically operable to move the mirror head relative to a mounting base between a folded position and an extended position. The actuator includes a base portion that attaches at the mounting base and a pivot tube that extends from the base portion. The actuator includes a biasing mechanism that, when the mirror moves between the extended and folded positions, biases the mirror head relative to the mounting base in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the pivot tube. The biasing mechanism includes a shell fixed relative to the mounting base, a longitudinally movable portion coupled to the mirror head and a torsion spring that biases the longitudinally movable portion in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly. A PCB is accommodated by a mirror head and a heat generating electronic component is disposed at the PCB. A heat sink is thermally coupled with the PCB and, when the heat generating electronic component generates heat, the heat sink draws heat away from the PCB. A first plurality of vents are formed through a lower portion of the mirror casing and a second plurality of vents are formed through an upper portion of the mirror casing so that cooling airflow is drawn into the mirror head via the first plurality of vents formed through the lower portion and exits out of the mirror head via the second plurality of vents formed through the upper portion to draw heat away from the PCB and out of the mirror head.

Abstract: A vehicular camera assembly includes a mounting base configured to mount at a vehicle, an arm pivotally mounted at the mounting base, a camera disposed at an outer end region of the arm, and an actuator that is operable to pivot the arm between a drive position and a folded position. The actuator includes a primary detent interface that is engaged to maintain the arm at the drive position when the arm is pivoted to the drive position. When the arm is manually pivoted between the folded position and the drive position, a secondary detent interface is disengaged and the primary detent interface is disengaged. With the vehicular camera assembly mounted at the vehicle, video image data captured by the camera is processed for (i) display of video images derived from video image data captured by the camera or (ii) detection of an object viewed by the camera.
