Door mirror for an automobile
First Claim
1. A door mirror for an automobile comprising:
- a first light-emitting diode (LED); and
a second LED,the first LED and the second LED illuminating, from a back surface of a reflective mirror, side object detection symbols of an ISO standard,the side object detection symbols constructed of a light transmissive portion and a light non-transmissive portion and comprising;
a host vehicle display section disposed on a side of a driver'"'"'s seat;
an other vehicle display section disposed outside and obliquely rearwardly of the host vehicle display section; and
a detected wave display section disposed between the host vehicle display section and the other vehicle display section, for indicating a detected wave, whereina light diffusing section is disposed between the side object detection symbols and the first and second LEDs,relative dispositions between the side object detection symbols and the first and second LEDs disposed on a back surface side of the side object detection symbols are such that an optical axis of the first LED intersects with the host vehicle display section and an optical axis of the second LED intersects with the other vehicle display section.

Abstract
The door mirror for an automobile including a light diffusing section disposed between the side object detection symbols and the first and second LEDs. Relative dispositions between the side object detection symbols and the first and second LEDs are such that the optical axis of the first LED intersects with a host vehicle display section and the optical axis of the second LED intersects with an other vehicle display section. The relative dispositions enable uniform illumination of the side object detection symbols using the two LEDs. Furthermore, the optical axis of the first LED intersects with a light non-transmissive portion of the host vehicle display section and the optical axis of the second LED intersects with a light non-transmissive portion of the other vehicle display section.
