  • Patent number: 5742442
    Abstract: A new vehicle mirror viewing system which is designed for rear view mirrors mounted exteriorly of a vehicle and allows a driver to either view the mirror or an image transmitted from the mirror to a viewing screen mounted interiorly of the vehicle. A fiber optic transmission cable is utilized in conjunction with a two-way mirror to transmit the reflected image from the mirror to the viewing screen. The cable utilizes a large bundle of fiber optic cables, and the ends of the cables are mounted in small blocks which allow only small pixels of light to be transmitted from an image passes through the two-way mirror. With the ends of the cables mounted in arrays within transducers, a composite image can be transmitted from a rear surface of the rear view mirror to the viewing screen.
