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 an electro-optic 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, wherein the electro-optic element is adjustable to an off-axis position which approximately simultaneously changes an activation state of the display module, and wherein the electro-optic element is also adjustable an on-axis position which approximately simultaneously changes the activation state of the display, the display module including;
a display, wherein a planar extent of the display is parallel with a planar extent of the electro-optic element;
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 primary 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 electro-optic element, the front shield, the carrier plate, the display module, and the 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.
