The rearview mirror comprises a mirror glass, which is mounted to a carrier plate. A display unit is disposed behind the mirror glass and the carrier plate, which generates a light beam by means of an illuminant, wherein said light beam is coupled into a light conductor. The light beam is directed outward by means of a reflection free portion of the mirror glass, so that light passing through is directed towards the driver by means of the deflection optics.

Rearview mirror with illuminated area

An exterior rearview mirror for vehicles has a mirror base and a mirror head connected to the mirror base so as to be pivotable in and counter to a travel direction of the vehicle. At least one lifting device imparts to the mirror head a movement away from the mirror base when the mirror head is pivoted forwardly in the travel direction. The lifting device has a lifting element connected with the mirror head and a counter element connected with the mirror base.

Exterior rearview mirror for vehicles, in particular, motor vehicles

An exterior rearview mirror for vehicles has a mirror base and a mirror head connected to the mirror base so as to be pivotable in a travel direction of the vehicle and in a direction opposite to the travel direction. The mirror base has first and second bearings and the mirror head has first and second bearing elements engaging the first and second bearings, respectively. The first and second bearing elements are configured such that, when the mirror head pivots in the travel direction, the first bearing elements disengage the first bearings and the second bearing elements form a pivot axis within the second bearings and, when the mirror head pivots in the direction opposite the travel direction, the second bearing elements disengage the second bearings and the first bearing elements form a pivot axis within the first bearings.
