Abstract: A power consumption of a screen can be lowered while a motor vehicle is traveling, based on a line of vision of a user of the motor vehicle. An image of a surrounding area of the motor vehicle is captured, and a line of vision of the user of the motor vehicle is determined. The screen is switched to a normal mode of operation or a power-saving mode based on the determined line of vision. The power consumption of the screen in the power-saving mode is less than a power consumption of the screen in the normal mode of operation. The image of the surrounding area is displayed by use of the screen, at least while the screen is operated in the normal mode of operation.

Abstract: Motor vehicle rear view device includes a common circuit board secured within a motor vehicle. An image evaluation circuit board is secured to the common circuit board. The image evaluation circuit board includes a programmable processor. A display receiver circuit board is secured to the common circuit board and electrically connected to the image evaluation circuit board to form a receiver module. A display electrically operatively connected to the image evaluation circuit board through the display receiver circuit board. An optical sensor is connected to the image evaluation circuit board through said receiver circuit board. The optical sensor receives light and produces optical output signals based thereon to be displayed. Data cables formed within the common circuit board are less than 100 mm long to evaluate image data without delay.
