  • Display device for exterior rearview mirror
    Patent number: 7777611
    Abstract: A mirror reflective element sub-assembly for an exterior rearview mirror assembly of a vehicle includes a mirror reflective element and a video display element. The video display element is disposed behind the mirror reflective element so that images displayed by the video display element are viewable through the mirror reflective element when the video display element is activated. The video display element is configured to display images that are readily viewable by the driver of the host vehicle and not readily viewable by drivers of other vehicles in the lane adjacent to the host vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Automotive lighting device
    Patent number: 6773154
    Abstract: An exterior automotive lighting device is provided. The device includes a light guide housing and a single Light Emitting Semiconductor Device (LESD). The light guide housing includes reflective material and optical elements to reflect emitted photons from the single LESD in multiple directions. The light guide has a thermally conductive material and thermally conductive connectors to dissipate heat generated by the single LESD. The lighting device may be used in accordance with lighting systems, such as a high mount stop lamp and a tail lamp on an automobile.
