    摘要: The present disclosure refers to an interior rearview device adapted for use with a motor vehicle, comprising: a rearview element comprising at least one of a reflective element and a display element; a bezel surrounding the rearview element and being surrounded by a housing; a mount assembly which is configured to attach the housing to the vehicle; and an human machine interface (HMI) for controlling at least one function of the interior rearview device, with the HMI comprising at least one ToF sensor, between the housing and the rearview element, and at least a part of the bezel, preferably at the bottom of the interior rearview device. The bezel (32, 1320) comprises a transparent and/or translucent substrate provided with a, preferably chromium-based, reflective coating (12000), with at least one opening or region of reduced thickness of the coating (12000) being provided on the substrate and/or being hidden by the coating (12000) until the at least one light source is lit, and providing at last one logo, sign, mark, icon and/or information on a function to be actuated via the HMI.

    摘要: The disclosure refers to an internal rearview device (1) adapted for use with a motor vehicle, comprising: a rearview element comprising at least one of a reflective element (10) and a display element, with the rearview element having a normal state and at least one anti-glare state, in which a glare experienced by a driver of the vehicle as a result of light reflected at the rearview element is reduced; a bezel (32) surrounding the rearview element and being surrounded by a housing (60); control means comprising sensor means connected to at least one printed circuit board (40, 50), which is arranged between the housing (60) and the rearview element, for controlling at least the state of the rearview element; and a mount assembly (70) which is configured to attach the housing (60) to the vehicle; wherein the perimeter edge (31) of the bezel (32) is exposed to and is viewable by the driver of the vehicle when said device (1) is normally mounted in the vehicle; said perimeter edge (31) comprises a curved surface disposed between the front and/or reflective surface of the rearview element (10) and the housing (60); and the housing (60) is provided with a protrusion (65) projecting edgewise, beyond the curved surface of the perimeter edge (31) such that it is viewable by the driver when said device (1) is normally mounted in the vehicle. The disclosure also refers to a vehicle with such an internal rearview device.

    摘要: The present disclosure refers to a rear view system for a vehicle, comprising a rear view device comprising at least one camera module and/or at least one reflective element, wherein the rear view device is configured to be mounted to the vehicle, in particular to a door or a body of the vehicle, in order to capture a field-of-view (FOV) in a scenery at least around a rear part of the vehicle and to be moved between at least two states relative to the door and/or the body of the vehicle, in particular between a folded and unfolded state, characterized by a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor for emitting at least one light signal, and a processing unit for determining at least one of the states of the rear view device when the rear view device is mounted to the vehicle, wherein the ToF sensor is configured to be mounted to the rear view device or to the vehicle separate from the rear view device, and wherein the processing unit is configured to operate the ToF sensor to emit the at least one light signal towards the FoV of the rear view device in case the ToF sensor is mounted to the rear view device or towards the rear view device in case the ToF sensor is mounted separate from the rear view device and to determine the at least one state of the rear view device based on the at least one light signal. It also refers to a vehicle with such a rear view system.
