Vehicle angled rear view mirror system - has non-reflective mirrors including liq. crystal soln. responsive to electric signal

摘要

The arrangement of rear view mirrors for a motor vehicle includes a pair of mirror assemblies positioned to extend the areas of vision to the right and left rear sides of the motor vehicle. Each mirror assembly is normally nonreflective and includes a liquid crystal solution which covers a mirrored surface and which is responsive to the presence or absence of an electrical charge to render the mirror assembly reflective. Each angled mirror assembly is activated by operation of the turn signal system to provide the operator of the vehicle with an extended area of view to the rear side of the vehicle that corresponds to the direction in which the vehicle is to travel.
