Abstract
A mirror apparatus for automobile including an objective mirror region having an objective mirror and an ocular mirror region having a planar ocular mirror, wherein: the objective mirror is provided outside the automobile body to face an area of ground surface centering around the vicinity of the corner of the automobile body located opposite to the driver's seat, and the ocular mirror is disposed in a space within the ocular mirror region which has a first aperture for receiving therethrough an image reflected by the objective mirror and a second aperture for transmitting therethrough an image reflected by the ocular mirror to the driver's eyes. The first aperture has a limited size necessary for receiving the image on the objective mirror region reflected on the ocular mirror. Thus, this mirror apparatus enables the driver to have a good view of the blind area which otherwise would develop on that site located opposite to the driver's seat, and also is able to block the entry of unnecessary light to the mirrors.
