摘要： A structural element (20) for a vehicle is disclosed. The element comprises an at least partially transparent body (22), having a three-dimensional array of interconnected chambers arranged to allow light to pass through the body so as to provide at least partial visibility through the element to an occupant of the vehicle when the structural element is mounted in the vehicle. An example of a structural element to which the invention may be applied is a pillar for a car.

摘要： A view enhancing system for a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle has a structural element which in normal operation tends to obstruct a vehicle operator's view. The system includes a camera (20, 22, 24) adapted to form an image of a region of the vehicle surroundings where the operator's view is obstructed by the structural element, and display means (52) connected with the camera and mounted on the structural element for displaying an image representing the view that would be seen by the operator if the structural element were transparent or not present. In a disclosed example, the structural element is a pillar. A rear view display system for a vehicle having a camera mounted on the outside of the vehicle adapted to capture an image of a rear view from the vehicle and a rear view mirror including a reflective layer and a display layer is also disclosed.
