Abstract: An outer mirror and a vehicle interphone are provided for transmitting a sound to the outside from a vehicle cabin and vice versa. Sound outside the vehicle cabin is transmitted to the cabin from a microphone-loudspeaker provided in a visor cover of the outer mirror. The microphone-loudspeaker is supported on a frame having higher rigidity than the visor cover, which is mounted to a vehicle body via an electric accommodating unit and a door mirror base to promote shock resistance. The visor cover includes a sound-conducting opening in its bottom portion, and the microphone-loudspeaker is made waterproof to promote weather resistance.

Abstract: A rear-view mirror for a vehicle. The rear-view mirror has a mirrow body at which is formed an accommodating member. A lamp house containing a lamp bulb and a secondary battery is accommodated in the accommodating member by holders for holding the lamp house from below. The lamp house is pulled out from the accommodating member to illuminate a desired position.

Abstract: Disclosed are an outer mirror and a vehicle interphone having a function of transmitting a sound to the outside from a vehicle cabin or inputting a sound outside of the cabin, and having physical durability. The sound in the cabin is transmitted from a microphone-loudspeaker provided in a visor cover of the outer mirror. The sound near the visor cover, which is received by the microphone-loudspeaker, is emitted in the cabin. The microphone-loudspeaker is supported on a frame having higher rigidity than the visor cover, which is mounted to a vehicle body via an electric accommodating unit and a door mirror base.

Abstract: In a door mirror in accordance with the present invention, at a connecting portion near a driver's seat or a passenger seat, an opposing portion which is a boundary between the connecting portion and a lid is exposed on the surface of a visor at a side toward the substantial rear of a vehicle. Therefore, even if steps are formed at the opposing portion and slight irregularities are thereby formed on the surface of the visor, air flow does not flow over the opposing portion, or orientation of air flow is not rapidly changed or turbulence is not generated over or below the opposing portion. In this way, noise such as wind noise generated near the connecting portion can be reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrode substrate includes providing an insulating substrate and forming a first conductive layer on the insulating substrate. The first conductive layer has a narrowed wiring region and forms a first wiring pattern and a second wiring pattern. The narrowed wiring region defines a boundary region disposed between the first wiring pattern and the second wiring pattern. The method also includes forming a second conductive layer in electrical contact with the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer has a narrowed wiring region and forms a third wiring pattern and a fourth wiring pattern. The narrowed wiring region of the second conductive layer defines another boundary region disposed between the third wiring pattern and the second wiring pattern. The first and second conductive layers are formed such that the boundary regions of each of the first and second conductive layers do not overlap each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an electrode substrate. An insulating substrate is provided, on which a first conductive layer is formed. The first conductive layer has a narrowed wiring region and forms a first wiring pattern and a second wiring pattern. The narrowed wiring region defines a boundary region disposed between and separating the first wiring pattern and the second wiring pattern. A second conductive layer is formed in electrical contact with the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer has a narrowed wiring region and forms a third wiring pattern and a fourth wiring pattern. The narrowed wiring region defines another boundary region disposed between and separating the third wiring pattern and the second wiring pattern. The first and second conductive layers are formed such that the boundary regions of each of the first and second conductive layers do not overlap each other.

Abstract: An electrode substrate comprising a first conductive layer having a narrowed wiring region, defining a boundary region, separating a first wiring pattern and a second wiring pattern of the first conductive layer. The electrode substrate further comprises a second conductive layer in electrical contact with the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer having a narrowed wiring region, defining another boundary region, separating a third wiring pattern and a fourth wiring pattern of the second conductive layer.
