A mirror assembly having an electrically adjustably reflectivity provides
for the simultaneous display of a vehicle heading and an external
temperature. The mirror assembly includes a reflective device, a dual
display and a control circuit. The reflective device includes a
transmissive element and a reflective surface formed on the transmissive
element. The dual display is located behind the reflective surface of the
reflective device. The dual display visually provides the vehicle heading
and the external temperature through the reflective device. The control
circuit provides for the variable attenuation of light through the
transmissive element of the reflective device and controls the intensity
and information displayed by the dual display. An advantage of the present
invention is that it provides a dual display while exhibiting currently
acceptable electromagnetic interference levels.
