  • Publication number: 20160297366
    Abstract: A warning indicator system for a vehicle includes an indicator for providing visible signals within a reflective surface of a rear-vision mirror, operatively connected to at least a turn signal control system of the vehicle. The indicator is defined by a plurality of images activated sequentially to present an animated image to a viewer. The plurality of images is provided by a plurality of printed LED symbols disposed adjacent to one another within the rear-vision minor reflective surface. At least one processor operatively connected to the plurality of printed LED symbols and to the turn signal control system is configured to iteratively activate and deactivate the plurality of printed LED symbols in response to a signal from the turn signal control system. In this fashion, an animated turn signal indicator is provided within a reflective surface of a rear-vision minor such as a side minor of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20160297356
    Abstract: A warning indicator system for a vehicle includes an indicator for providing visible signals within a reflective surface of a rear-vision mirror. The indicator is operatively connected to a proximity sensor system and to a turn signal control system of the vehicle. The indicator provides a first visible signal when the turn signal control system is activated and provides a second visible signal when the turn signal control system and the proximity sensor system are activated. The first visible signal may be a first color and the second visible signal may be a second color that is different from the first color. The indicator may be defined by a first printed LED symbol for providing the first visible signal and a second printed LED symbol for providing the second visible signal. Rear-vision mirror assemblies including the described warning indicator system are provided.
