Rearview Mirror Display eliminates blind spots.

Automatic-dimming Rearview Mirror uses LCD device to show panoramic video view of objects behind vehicle in real-time. When vehicle is put into reverse, display illuminates and automatically appears through mirror's reflective surface. Image is generated by camera or cameras placed in protected area at rear of vehicle. When vehicle is put in drive, display in mirror automatically disappears.
