  • Publication number: 20200339049
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a display inside mirror for driving a display unit in response to a driving request of a user and a change in the driving request to provide a rear visual field to the user. The method includes determining whether a display unit is set to an operation mode and when the display unit is set to the operation mode, determining whether a driving condition is satisfied. When the driving condition is not satisfied whether the determined driving condition is changed is determined prior to determination of the driving condition. The controller is configured to operate the display unit when the driving condition is changed and convert the display unit to an off state when the driving condition is not changed.
