  • Patent number: 12715361
    Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head adjustable relative to a mounting base. The mirror head includes a variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element. A glare light sensor is disposed at the mirror head and captures sensor data representative of visible light and near infrared light passing through the variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element. The vehicular interior rearview mirror system determines a near infrared light component of the captured sensor data. Based on processing of the captured sensor data, the system controls dimming of the variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element. The system does not rely on the determined near infrared light component of the captured sensor data when controlling dimming of the variable reflectance electro-optic mirror reflective element.

    Abstract: A diffractive optical assembly includes an input coupler, an output coupler, and an image source. The output coupler is next to the input coupler. One of the input coupler and the output coupler has a most critical holographic optical element (HOE), and another one has a diffractive optical element (DOE). Bragg condition of the most critical HOE is more sensitive than Bragg condition of the DOE. The image source is configured to generate image light that is incident to the input coupler then propagates to the output coupler. The image light has incident angles to the input coupler and wavelengths corresponding to the incident angles. The wavelengths of the image light on the image source have a two-dimensional spatial distribution, such that relationships between the incident angles and the wavelengths of the image light comply with Bragg selectivity of the most critical HOE.
