The present invention discloses a vehicle inside mirror device for displaying an image, which can obtain an enhanced mirror function of a prism glass (30) caused by a black film (40) provided at a rear side of a prism glass and has a relatively simple structure made by forming directly a transflective layer on a rear surface of a prism glass without using a substrate. The vehicle inside mirror device of the present invention comprises a housing (10) mounted in a passenger compartment of a vehicle; a prism glass (30) provided on a front side of the housing and having a transparent transflective layer (31) formed on a rear surface thereof; a black film (40) provided at a rear side of the prism glass and having an opening (41) formed on one side thereof; a liquid crystal display (LCD) module (50) provided at a rear side of the opening of the black film; and a control circuit unit (60) installed at a rear side of the LCD module (50).

To provide an image irradiation system and an image irradiation method which can make an image information in an outdoor side of a vehicle be recognized by a driver precisely without widely moving a view point of the driver.

An image irradiation system includes a first photographing module photographing a driver of a vehicle, a position calculation module calculating a single eye position of the driver from an image photographed by the first photographing module, an image information generating module creating an outdoor image information of the vehicle, and an irradiation module irradiating the outdoor image information to the single eye position calculated by the position calculation module.

The present abstract relates to a patent of invention for an interior rearview mirror system pertaining to the field of automotive vehicle (200) accessories, whose construction has been designed to enable the mirror to display the until then called "blind spot" (102) located in the rearward of the vehicle; said system being comprised by: an interior rearview mirror (1); and an associated electronic image capturing system; and an electric-electronic power supply and driving circuitry (40) arranged to provide a full image of the region behind the vehicle (200) formed by images of regions (101) behind the vehicle usually captured by typical interior rearview mirrors (1) and images of the until then called "blind spot" (102) behind the vehicle, not usually captured by the usual rearview mirrors; said full image being seen in the mirror (2) of the interior rearview mirror (1) by an observer positioned in front of it.

A capturing device (1) includes an image sensor (11) that generates an image signal by performing photoelectric conversion for light from a subject, a control unit (14) that generates a setting value for setting a range where an image resulting from the image signal is cut, based on a first instruction input from a user, a setting value storage unit (15) that stores the setting value generated by the control unit (14), an image conversion unit (13) that reads the setting value from the setting value storage unit (15), and cuts a specific region specified by the setting value from the image and enlarges the cut region, when there is a second instruction input from the user, and an output unit (18) that converts a signal of the image cut and enlarged by the image conversion unit (13) into an image signal of a predetermined format and outputs the converted image signal.

A display device includes a camera for capturing an image around a vehicle body; a monitor provided in a vehicle interior; and a display control unit for controlling a display of the monitor. The monitor has a rectangle-shaped display face, and is supported switchably between a vertically elongated posture and a horizontally elongated posture. When the monitor is switched to the vertically elongated posture, based on an image captured by the camera, the display control unit displays a top view image of a road surface around the vehicle body seen from above on the monitor.
