    Abstract: The disclosure refers to an internal rearview device (1) adapted for use with a motor vehicle, comprising: a rearview element comprising at least one of a reflective element (10) and a display element, with the rearview element having a normal state and at least one anti-glare state, in which a glare experienced by a driver of the vehicle as a result of light reflected at the rearview element is reduced; a bezel (32) surrounding the rearview element and being surrounded by a housing (60); control means comprising sensor means connected to at least one printed circuit board (40, 50), which is arranged between the housing (60) and the rearview element, for controlling at least the state of the rearview element; and a mount assembly (70) which is configured to attach the housing (60) to the vehicle; wherein the perimeter edge (31) of the bezel (32) is exposed to and is viewable by the driver of the vehicle when said device (1) is normally mounted in the vehicle; said perimeter edge (31) comprises a curved surface disposed between the front and/or reflective surface of the rearview element (10) and the housing (60); and the housing (60) is provided with a protrusion (65) projecting edgewise, beyond the curved surface of the perimeter edge (31) such that it is viewable by the driver when said device (1) is normally mounted in the vehicle. The disclosure also refers to a vehicle with such an internal rearview device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a rearview device for a motor vehicle that includes a rearview element, a housing supporting at least a portion of the rearview element, the housing including a light transmitting region through which light can penetrate, a light emitter for emitting a first light including a first wavelength in a first direction through the light transmitting region, and a light receiver for detecting a second light entering a second direction through the light transmitting region, the second light entering the second direction including a second wavelength corresponding to the first wavelength. In one example, a first function of the rearview device or an electrically operating configuration connected with the rearview device is executed when the second light including the second wavelength corresponding to the first wavelength is detected by the light receiver during a predetermined period. In another example, a function of the rearview device or an electrically operating configuration connected with the rearview device is executed when an object is located within a certain distance from light transmitting region.
