Abstract: A vehicle visibility assist device is started up when a switching operation of a switch for an external vehicle light is detected and when it is determined by a brightness sensor that it is darker outside of the vehicle than a predetermined threshold. The visibility assist device projects infrared light to a region outside the vehicle, captures a reflection of the light, processes an image of the region outside the vehicle, and projects the image onto a surface visible to the vehicle operator.

Abstract: Radiation detectors are disclosed that include at least one element (pixel). In a pixel, a desired positional relationship between two nulleffectingnull elements is maintained regardless of changes in temperature or other prevailing variable. The detectors can be nullelectrical capacitancenull or nulloptical-readoutnull types. A pixel of the electrical capacitance type includes two electrodes (reference electrode and response electrode) that face each other and have a set gap therebetween. The electrodes are attached to respective displaceable members (configured as thermal bimorphs) having identical structures. A pixel of the optical readout type includes a half-mirror and a reflector that face each other and have a set gap therebetween. The half-mirror and reflector are attached to respective displaceable members. Radiation is absorbed by a radiation absorber that transfers the heat to certain displaceable members that bend to tilt accordingly. Other displaceable members are not heated and do not bend. The displaceable members are formable simultaneously during respective fabrication steps.
