Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotally adjustable about a mirror support. The mirror head includes a mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector. A video display device is disposed rearward of the mirror reflective element. A touch sensor is disposed at the 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 mirror reflective element. The mirror reflective element, at the reflective region of the transflective mirror reflector, reflects at least 40 percent of visible light incident at the front side of the mirror reflective element.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a display device disposed in the mirror head and behind a reflective element. An actuator is operable to adjust the mirror head between a mirror mode orientation and a display mode orientation. Operation of the actuator moves a cam follower to cause a pin at the mirror head to travel along the groove to adjust orientation of the mirror head. With the mirror head in the mirror mode orientation, a first voltage is applied to adjust the mirror head out of the mirror mode orientation. A second voltage that is lower than the first voltage is then applied to adjust the mirror head toward the display mode orientation. A third voltage that is higher than the second voltage is then applied to adjust the mirror head into the display mode orientation.

Abstract: An interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotally mounted at a mirror mount, and a display device disposed in the mirror head and behind the reflective element. An actuator is disposed at the mirror head and, when actuated, pivots the mirror head upward or downward to pivot the mirror head between a mirror mode orientation and a display mode orientation. The actuator includes at least one cam follower that is pivotable and that has an arcuate groove that receives a pin at the mirror head. Actuation of the actuator pivots the cam follower to move the pin along the groove and to pivot the mirror head relative to the mirror mount. The arcuate groove of the cam follower has a spiral form having a non-uniform radius of curvature at a middle region and a constant radius of curvature about the pivot axis at each end region.

Abstract: An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head accommodating a reflective element. A display device is accommodated in the mirror head and behind the reflective element. The reflective element is tiltable between a mirror mode orientation, where the vehicle driver views rearward of the vehicle via the reflective element, and a display mode orientation, where the display device is actuated and the vehicle driver views images displayed by the display device through the transflective mirror reflector of the reflective element. An actuator has an actuator body that is pivotally mounted at the reflective element and that has a pivot element of a pivot joint that pivotally mounts the mirror head at an interior portion of the vehicle. The actuator pivots the reflective element relative to the actuator body to tilt the reflective element between the mirror mode orientation and the display mode orientation.

Abstract: An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head having a reflective element. A display device is disposed in the mirror head and behind the reflective element. The display device, when actuated, is viewable through the reflective element. The mirror head is adjustable between a mirror mode orientation, where the driver of the vehicle views rearward of the vehicle via the reflective element, and a display mode orientation, where the driver of the vehicle views images displayed by the display device through the reflective element. When in the display mode orientation, the reflective element is angled upward or downward relative to the orientation of the reflective element when in the mirror mode orientation. An actuator is pivotally mounted at the mirror head and includes a pivot element that adjustably mounts the mirror head at a mirror mount that attaches at the interior surface of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustable about a mounting structure that includes an arm having a ball member. The mirror head includes a socket that receives the ball member. The arm and the ball member have a passageway. The mirror head accommodates an electronic component and a heatsink that is thermally coupled to the electronic component and draws heat away from the electronic component when the electronic component is electrically operated and generates heat within the interior cavity of the mirror head. An air source directs airflow through the passageway and into the interior cavity of the mirror head and the airflow flows through the interior cavity of the mirror head and exits the interior cavity of the mirror head to dissipate heat from the heatsink and the interior cavity of the mirror head.

Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a mirror mount that attaches at the interior surface of the vehicle. The mirror head includes an actuator having a body portion attached at a back plate at the rear of the reflective element and an adapter plate attached at the mirror mount and pivotable relative to the body portion. The actuator includes a pair of arcuate gear elements that attach at one end to the adapter plate and that are movably received at the body portion. The actuator includes a pair of motors operable to rotatably drive respective gears that engage the respective arcuate gear elements. When the gears are rotably driven, the gears impart pivotal movement of the body portion and mirror head in tandem relative to the mirror mount to adjust the mirror head relative to provide a rearward view for a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular charge port closure system includes a cover panel disposed at a vehicle. The cover panel is movable between a closed position, where the cover panel conceals a charge port of the vehicle, and an opened position, where the cover panel is positioned to allow access to a charging connector of the charge port. A deployment mechanism is operable to move the cover panel between the closed and opened positions. An ice breaking mechanism is disposed at the cover panel and, when ice is present at the peripheral edge of the cover panel, the ice breaking mechanism is operable to break the ice from the peripheral edge of the cover panel so that the cover panel is movable from the closed position toward the opened position.

Abstract: A vehicular camera module includes a housing assembly that includes an inner housing element that accommodates a transparent cover element and that is pivotable relative to an outer housing element that mounts at a vehicle. A camera is accommodated by the housing assembly and mounted to the outer housing element. The camera views exterior of the vehicle via the cover element. An outer surface of the cover element is exposed exterior of the vehicle and, when the inner housing element and the cover element pivot relative to the outer housing element, a wiper of the outer housing element engages the outer surface of the cover element to remove moisture and/or debris from the outer surface of the cover element.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head that is movable relative to a mounting base and a powerfold actuator that is operable to move the mirror head relative to the mounting base between a folded position and an extended position. The powerfold actuator includes a base portion attached at the mounting base and a pivot tube that extends from the base portion through an output gear and a housing. The output gear includes a plurality of detents that engage a corresponding plurality of detents of the housing. With the detents engaged, a biasing element biases through the housing and the output gear to the base portion to releasably retain the powerfold actuator in the at least one detent state of the powerfold actuator. With the detents disengaged, the biasing element does not bias through the housing and the output gear.
