Claim One:
1. An image pickup device-equipped rear-view mirror, comprising: a mirror element; a dark color mask member arranged behind the mirror element; and a near-infrared camera arranged behind the dark color mask member, an optical axis of the near-infrared camera being directed to a surface of the mirror element via the dark color mask member, wherein: the mirror element has an integrating sphere reflectance of 40% to 60% in the visible range, and a near-infrared transmittance of no less than 70% for a whole or part of a band belonging to a near-infrared range within an entire sensitive wavelength range of the near-infrared camera; a near-infrared transmittance of at least a region of the dark color mask member where the near-infrared camera is arranged is no less than 70% for a whole or part of a band belonging to a near-infrared range within the entire sensitive wavelength range of the near-infrared camera; and the band for which the near-infrared transmittance of the mirror element is no less than 70%, and the band for which the near-infrared transmittance of the dark color mask member is no less than 70% have a band where they overlap each other.
