Patent ID: 7973263

Claim:
A vehicle outside mirror module comprising: a mirror glass ( 11 ) defining a front side ( 12 ), a back side and a mirror glass edge ( 14 ) extending thereabout, said front side ( 12 ) defining a plane; a heating foil ( 20 ) flexibly configured on said back side of said mirror glass provided with power supply points ( 35 ) and including tabs ( 24 ) projecting out and away from said back side, wrapping around said mirror glass edge ( 14 ) and through said plane defined by said front side of said mirror glass ( 11 ), said heating foil receiving at least one heating element and at least one lighting source ( 60 ) disposed on one of said tabs ( 24 ) that extend beyond said mirror glass edge ( 14 ) and across said plane defined by said front side ( 12 ); and at least one additional power supply point ( 38 ) integrated on said heating foil ( 20 ), having conductive tracks ( 31 - 33 ) extending between said light source ( 60 ) and said additional power supply points ( 38 ), said conductive tracks ( 31 - 33 ) providing current such that said light source ( 60 ) has at least one main light exit surface ( 61 ) whose spectral centroid lies forward of said plane of said front surface ( 12 ) and the mirror glass edge ( 14 ).
