The invention relates to a rear-view mirror for vehicles, which consists of compatible,
combinable and exchangeable modules such as: (A) and (B), or integrated (A+B),
functional, signal, lighting and sensor modules; and structural (C), (D) and (E)
modules; cover-housing, body-housing and support which may include functional modules.
(A), (B) and (A+B) fulfill their function even if the rear-view mirror is folded.
They use a multifocal light source of LED's inserted into a flexible and orientable
circuit and/or a mixed rigid-flexible circuit combining LED's+bulbs and other lighting
elements, with variable optical and reflective means enabling more than one signal
from one same transparent surface with direct light output, indirect-reflected
light output and/or through intermediate optical light guides depending on the
directions required in the front, the side, the back and the lateral ground for
different commands, applications and safety signals.
