  • Patent number: 7843404
    Abstract: The present invention provides a smart mirror apparatus using an LCD panel. The smart mirror of the present invention includes a reflective mirror, which is provided in the vehicle, and an LCD panel, which is placed in a light path between the reflective mirror and eyes of the driver and has one or two polarizing sheets. The smart mirror further includes an incident light detecting unit, which detects both the brightness of the incident light transmitted from the rear to the LCD panel and the brightness around the LCD panel, and calculates a difference value therebetween. The smart mirror further includes a voltage determination unit, which receives the calculated difference value and determines the drive voltage depending on the difference value, and a voltage apply and supply unit which applies the drive voltage, determined by the voltage determination unit, to the LCD panel.

  • Patent number: 6169426
    Abstract: A back bias voltage level detector is capable of accurately detecting a back bias voltage level by constantly maintaining a voltage inputted into a comparator using a clamp circuit or a current mirror circuit. The back bias voltage level detector includes voltage control circuitry for accurately detecting the back bias voltage and maintaining a constant input voltage to the comparator, and first and second resistors coupled in series between an electric voltage and a back bias voltage for distributing voltage inputted thereto. A comparator compares the distributed and inputted voltage with a reference voltage. A back bias voltage detector is provided for outputting a detection signal by determining that a predetermined back bias voltage is detected when the input voltage and the reference voltage are identical as a result of the comparison.
