Abstract

A structure for concealing an automobile rear-view mirror display that uses an automobile rear-view mirror of a front wind shield, within which is disposed a concealable multipurpose display. The automobile rear-view mirror is further internally fitted with a withdraw device. A fixed member is affixed to a side of the withdraw device, and the fixed member functions in coordination with an inlay groove of the display to secure the display, thereby enabling the display to be received and concealed within a holding recess and to be withdrawn therefrom. The automobile rear-view mirror serves as a conventional rear view mirror when the display is concealed therein, and after the multipurpose display is withdrawn from the rear-view mirror, it can be set up to serve as a car reversing video system, a satellite navigation system, a multimedia player device, a touch screen and other related functional utilities.
