  • a sideview mirror unit including a housing of a cylindrical shape having one end disposed outside of a vehicle toward a rear side, the other end disposed inside the vehicle toward the rear side, and a perspective window formed inside the vehicle opposing an inner end part of the housing so that a ray is able to be transmitted, an object lens system disposed on an outer end part of the housing and refracting the passed ray to be converged, an upper reflecting unit and a lower reflecting unit arranged in the housing at a predetermined angle within the focal length of the object lens so that a reciprocal contact line corresponds to a horizontal center line of the object lenses and interior angles arranged to make a right-angle, a movable reflecting mirror unit having a planar reflecting surface and disposed at a certain angle beyond the focal length of the object lens system so as to open/close the perspective window, for reflecting the ray reflected from the upper reflecting unit and from the lower reflecting unit to the inner end part of the housing, and an eye lens system disposed on the inner end part of the housing for refracting the ray so that an image reflected by the movable reflecting mirror unit is enlarged whereby forming an afocal optical system with the object lens system;

    a movable reflecting mirror driving unit for driving the movable reflecting mirror unit between an opening position and a reflecting position;

    a terminal holder having a terminal acceptance space inside so that a part of a mobile phone is able to be accepted and disposed on one side of the housing; and

    a display panel having a display surface outputting same information as on a display window of the mobile phone through a data communication with the terminal holder when the mobile phone is inserted into the terminal acceptance space, and coupled to an outer part of the housing so that the display surface of the display panel faces the perspective window.
