FULL DISPLAY REARVIEW DEVICE
First Claim
1. A display mirror assembly comprising:
- a mount operably coupled to a vehicle interior, the mount including one of a ball and a socket extending forwardly therefrom;
an engagement plate pivotally coupled with the mount via the other of a ball and a socket extending rearwardly from the engagement plate, the engagement plate including a first support member and a second support member pivotally coupled to the first support member;
a carrier plate operably coupled with the engagement plate, the carrier plate supporting a rear housing on a rear portion thereof;
a glass element operably coupled with the carrier plate;
a display module being configured to be turned to an on state and an off state; and
an actuator device disposed on a bottom surface of the housing and operably coupled with the glass element, wherein the actuator device is adjustable to tilt the glass element in one direction, thereby moving the glass element to an off-axis position which approximately simultaneously changes the on/off state of the display module, and wherein the actuator device is also adjustable to tilt the glass element in another direction, thereby moving the glass element to an on-axis position which approximately simultaneously changes the on/off state of the display module.

Abstract
A display mirror assembly having a mount operably coupled to a vehicle interior. The mount includes one of a ball and a socket extending forwardly therefrom. An engagement plate is pivotally coupled with the mount via the other of a ball and a socket extending rearwardly from the engagement plate. The engagement plate includes a first support member and a second support member pivotally coupled to the first support member. A carrier plate is operably coupled with the engagement plate. The carrier plate supports a rear housing on a rear portion thereof. A glass element is operably coupled with the carrier plate. A display module is configured to be turned to an on state and an off state. An actuator device is disposed on a bottom surface of the housing and is operably coupled with the glass element. The actuator device is adjustable to tilt the glass element.

9. A display mirror assembly comprising:
-
a mount operably coupled to a vehicle interior, the mount including one of a ball and a socket extending forwardly therefrom; a carrier plate operably coupled with an engagement plate, the carrier plate supporting a rear housing on a rear portion thereof; a glass element operably coupled with the carrier plate; an optic stack disposed behind the glass element; a glare sensor operably coupled with the glass element and being in optical communication with a light pipe that is exposed to an exterior of the display mirror assembly; a display module being configured to be turned to an on state and an off state; and an actuator device disposed on a bottom surface of the housing and operably coupled with the glass element, wherein the actuator device is adjustable to tilt the glass element in one direction, thereby moving the glass element to an off-axis position which approximately simultaneously changes the on/off state of the display module, and wherein the actuator device is also adjustable to tilt the glass element in another direction, thereby moving the glass element to an on-axis position which approximately simultaneously changes the on/off state of the display module. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
