<p>A mirror angle detector (3) capable of detecting a mirror angle without using a resistor or a magnet, and an outer mirror for a vehicle. The mirror angle detector (3) is attached to an outer mirror for a vehicle. In the outer mirror, there is inclinably provided a mirror holder (1) on a frame (SB), and the mirror angle detector (3) detects the inclination angle of the mirror holder (1). The mirror angle detector (3) has an interposed member (a screw member (8) and an adjusting nut (5)) that is interposed between the mirror holder (1) and the frame (SB) and in which the volume of the inner space (S) of the interposed member varies as the mirror holder (1) inclines, a light source (a light emitting element (31)) emitting light toward the inner space (S) of the interposed member, and a light receiving element (32) for detecting the quantity of light in the inner space (S).</p> |
