  • Patent number: 9316828
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying a vehicle backup image are presented. The system includes at least one camera supported by the vehicle. The camera creates an image of a vehicle environment in which the vehicle is disposed. The image includes a first image section of a first portion of the vehicle environment and a second image section of an adjacent second portion of the vehicle environment. A display operatively connects to the camera to receive the first and second image sections. The display includes a first display section having a first display surface displaying the first image section and disposed at a first angle. The display further includes a second display section having a second display surface displaying the second image section and disposed at a second angle such that the second display surface and the first display surface define an obtuse angle therebetween.
