Patent Images
1. A rearview assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- a housing;
a carrier operably connected with the housing and supporting a display;
a circuit board disposed in the housing;
a sensing system disposed proximate the substrate and connected with the circuit board; and
a switching assembly operably connected with the circuit board, wherein actuation of the switching assembly when the sensing system has been activated enables a predetermined function of the rearview assembly.

Abstract
A rearview assembly for a vehicle includes a housing. A carrier is operably connected with the housing and supports a display. A circuit board is disposed in the housing. A sensing system is disposed proximate the display and is connected with the circuit board. A switching assembly is operably connected with the circuit board. Actuation of the switching assembly when the sensing system has been activated enables a function of the rearview assembly.

20. A rearview assembly for a vehicle comprising:
-
a housing; a carrier operably connected with the housing; an electrically dimmable element supported on the carrier and including a first substrate and a second substrate; a circuit board disposed in the housing; a switching assembly having a first switch and a second switch that are disposed proximate a periphery of the first substrate and operably connected with the circuit board, wherein the first substrate of the electrochromic element is pivotal about multiple axes relative to the carrier, wherein pivotal rotation of the electrochromic element about a first axis actuates the first switch and pivotal rotation of the electrochromic element about a second axis actuates the second switch.
