DISPLAY MIRROR ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A display mirror assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
- a front shield having a first side and a second side, wherein a partially reflective, partially transmissive element is mounted on the first side;
a rear shield disposed behind the front shield;
a carrier plate disposed between the front shield and the rear shield;
a display module mounted between the front shield and the rear shield and including;
a display;
an optic block disposed behind the display;
a heat sink proximate to the optic block and having an edge lit PCB mounted along a top edge thereof; and
a PCB, wherein the front shield is secured to at least one component of the display module with a first retaining feature and the rear shield is secured to at least one component of the display module with a second retaining feature; and
a housing which at least partially surrounds the partially reflective, partially transmissive element, the front shield, carrier plate, display module, and rear shield.

Abstract
A display mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a front shield having a first side and a second side. A partially reflective, partially transmissive element is mounted on the first side. A rear shield is disposed behind the front shield. A display module is mounted between the front shield and the rear shield and includes in order from the front shield: a display; an optic block; a heat sink having an edge lit PCB mounted along a top edge thereof; and a PCB. The front shield is secured to at least one component of the display module with a first retaining feature and the rear shield is secured to at least one component of the display module with a second retaining feature. A housing at least partially surrounds the partially reflective, partially transmissive element, the front shield, carrier plate, display module, and rear shield.

19. A display mirror assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a housing; a mirror assembly operably coupled with the housing; a display module mounted to the housing and including; a display switch operable between an on state and an off state corresponding to activation and deactivation, respectively, of a display of the display module; and a printed circuit board (PCB); and a bi-modal switch rotatably coupled with the housing, wherein the bi-modal switch is adjustable to a first position that rotates the mirror assembly to optimize visibility of an image and which simultaneously moves the display switch to the off state, and wherein the bi-modal switch is also adjustable to a second position that rotates the mirror assembly to a position that is not optimal for visibility of an image and which simultaneously moves the display switch to the on state. - View Dependent Claims (20)
