Three mode police mirror
First Claim
1. A warning indicator system for a vehicle side-view mirror, comprising:
- a transparent conductive layer;
a plurality of printed light-emitting diodes (LEDs) printed on the transparent conductive layer to define a plurality of designs;
one or more photoluminescent portions deposited on the transparent conductive layer to provide, in combination with light emitted by the plurality of printed LEDs, one or more light colors;
a conductive layer disposed to provide an electric charge to the plurality of printed LEDs; and
one or more processors operatively configured to actuate the plurality of printed LEDs in a plurality of predetermined sequences providing, in combination with the one or more photoluminescent portions, a plurality of visible light patterns and/or colors indicating at least a pursuit mode and a traffic advisor mode.

Abstract
A warning indicator system for a vehicle side-view mirror includes light sources disposed to emit light in patterns and/or colors visible through a partially light-reflective surface. One or more processors are operatively configured to actuate the light sources in predetermined sequences defining a stealth mode, a pursuit mode, and a traffic advisor mode. The partially light-reflective surface may be a light transmitting substrate having a coating of a reflective substance provided in a thickness allowing at least a partial transmission of light therethrough. The light sources may be printed light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Disposing the light sources in desired patterns to emit desired colors on actuation in a predetermined sequence allows configuring the side mirrors to emit visible light signals indicative of the stealth mode, a pursuit mode, and a traffic advisor mode.
