Below, the operation of the mirror assembly is described as follows.

First, when the driver raises the button (7) once, the lifting shaft (6) is raised by the button (7), and the projection (62) of the lifting shaft (6) can pass through the hole (48, see FIG. 11) and rise above the hole (48). The projection (62) that has passed through the hole (48) can come into contact with the upper contact portion (85, see FIGS. 9 and 10) and be guided along the inclined surface between the mountain (86) and the valley (87) of the upper contact portion (85), and while the projection (62) is guided on the inclined surface between the mountain (86) and the valley (87), the lifting shaft (6) can be rotated by a predetermined angle by the upper contact portion (85).

When the lifting shaft (6) rotates, the projection (62) of the lifting shaft (6) can be positioned above the lower contact portion (45, see Fig. 11) and can be positioned between the upper contact portion (85, see Fig. 10) and the lower contact portion (45, see Fig. 11) in the up-down direction (Z).

When the driver removes the external force applied to the button (7), the projection (62) can be lowered to the lower contact portion (45) to contact the lower contact portion (45), and can be guided along the inclined surface between the mountain (46) and the valley (47) of the lower contact portion (45), and while the projection (62) is guided along the inclined surface between the mountain (46) and the valley (47), the lifting shaft (6) can be rotated by a predetermined angle by the lower contact portion (45).

The projection (62) of the lifting shaft (6) can be caught downward on the lower contact portion (45) and cannot be lowered any further, and the projection (62) can be maintained between the upper contact portion (85) and the lower contact portion (45), so that the elevation height of the slider (5) raised by the lifting shaft (6) can be maintained.

With the slider (5) raised, the user can raise the button (7) once more, and the lifting shaft (6) is raised again by the button (7), and the projection (62) is brought into contact with the upper contact portion (85) again and can be guided along the inclined surface between the mountain (86) and the valley (87) of the upper contact portion (85). The lifting shaft (6) can be rotated by a predetermined angle once more by the upper contact portion (85), and when the lifting shaft (6) is rotated, the projection (62) can be positioned on the upper side of the hole (48).

Thereafter, when the driver removes the external force applied to the button (7), the projection (62) can be lowered into the hole (48) and enter the interior of the hole (48), the lifting shaft (6) can be lowered, and the projection (62) can be positioned next to the lower contact portion (45).

When the protrusion (62) is lowered, the slider (5) can be lowered together with the lifting shaft (6), and the hook (51) of the slider (5) can be caught on the hook holder (34) of the housing mirror (3), as shown in FIG. 5.

Fig. 12 is a side view of a slider according to the present embodiment when operating a switch.

The mirror assembly may further include a switch (100) for turning the display panel (10) on and off.

The switch (100) can be placed inside the outer housing (9).

An example of a switch (100) may be a mechanical switch and may be a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw).

The switch (100) can be mounted on the substrate (102) and can be spaced apart from the slider (5) in the forward and backward direction (X).

The switch (100) may have an operating knob (102) positioned on a surface facing the slider (5). The operating knob (102) may be rotatably positioned on the switch (100).

When the switch (100) is switched on, it can turn on the display panel (10) by applying current to the display panel (10), and when it is switched off, it can turn off the display panel (10) by blocking current to the display panel (10).

A slider protrusion (58) for switching a switch (100) may be formed on the slider (5).

The slider protrusion (58) may be positioned to protrude toward the switch (100). The slider protrusion (58) may protrude from the back surface of the slider (5).

The slider protrusion (58) can rotate the knob (102) when the slider (5) rises, turn off the switch (100), and turn off the display panel (10).

The slider protrusion (58) can reversely rotate the knob (102) when the slider (5) is lowered, turn on the switch (100), and turn on the display panel (10).

The above description is merely an example of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention but to explain it, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.

The scope of protection of the present invention should be interpreted by the claims below, and all technical ideas within a scope equivalent thereto should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the rights of the present invention.
