Abstract:
A vehicle outer mirror device includes a housing, a mirror main body, a mirror drive unit, and an imaging unit. The housing is attached to a door of a vehicle and includes an opening facing rear of the vehicle. The mirror main body is disposed in the opening of the housing and has a light reflection region reflecting light entering from outside of the housing and a light transmission region capable of transmitting the light to inside of the housing. The mirror drive unit is disposed inside the housing and adjusts an orientation of the mirror main body. The imaging unit is fixed inside the housing, images the rear of the vehicle through the light transmission region, and is disposed in a state in which an imaging optical axis is inclined toward the outside of the vehicle with respect to a reflection optical axis of the light reflection region.
