Abstract: A rearview assembly includes a housing and a display assembly that is operably coupled with the housing. An actuation assembly is adjacent the housing and is configured to activate a plurality of features of the rearview assembly. The actuation assembly includes a single button that is operable between engaged and disengaged positions. A plurality of tactile indicia are spaced along the single button and are configured to indicate a particular function of the rearview assembly. A proximity sensor assembly is disposed on the single button and is configured to sense proximity of a user. A conductive contact assembly is operably coupled with the housing and configured to send a signal to a processor to activate a function of the rearview assembly.

Abstract: A rearview assembly having a transflective element, a carrier plate, and an imager. The transflective element may have a first side and a second side in a first direction relative the first side. The carrier plate has a third side and a fourth side. The third side is adhered to the second side and extends substantially there along. The carrier plate may also have a cavity extending from the third side in the first direction. The cavity may have a first aperture, a second aperture, and an end portion. The first aperture may be at the third side. The second aperture may be disposed in the first direction relative the first aperture. The end portion may circumscribe the second aperture. The imager may extend through the second aperture and comprise a light collection portion, which is disposed proximate the second side.

Abstract: A rearview assembly is disclosed. The rearview assembly comprises a reflective element and/or a display element. Further, the rearview assembly comprises an array of piezo-electric sensors. The array of piezo-electric sensors may be operable to sense a first vibration. Further, based, at least in part, on sensing the first vibration, the array of piezo-electric sensors may be operable to output a second vibration. In some embodiments, the second vibration may be operable to substantially dampen the first vibration. In other embodiments, the second vibration may be operable to provide haptic feedback to a user interfacing with a touch screen surface of the rearview assembly.

Abstract: A rearview mirror includes a housing defining an interior cavity and an opening to an exterior of the housing, a notch extending from an edge of the opening and an actuation mechanism coupled within the interior of the housing. The actuation mechanism has a toggle barrel rotatably positioned within the interior cavity of the housing and a lever extending from the toggle barrel through the opening. The lever defines a first major surface and includes a locking rib extending from the first major surface adjacent the barrel. The lever and toggle barrel are rotatable between a first position and a second position, the locking rib being positioned within the notch of the housing when the lever and the toggle barrel are in the first position and being positioned away from the notch when the lever and the toggle barrel are in the second position.
