ABSTRACT:
To provide a camera built-in type rearview mirror device with illumination, wherein rigidity of the mirror housing can be raised, the camera main body part can photo a clear picture by extensive photographing feasible viewing angle through a transparent cover, and built-in of the camera module is simple. Mirror housing2includes concave part2C formed in an opening manner downwardly which is arranged in the vicinity of photographing window2B where lens5B of the camera main body part5A is faced, and capable of accommodating an illumination light source. For this reason, opening area of the photographing window2B is decreased. Also, the circumference of the photographing window2B is reinforced by the cross-sectional box type form of the concave part2C. Especially a bulge part with circular curved section is formed so that the lens of the camera main body part may rush in, to thereby decrease the opening area of the photographing window further. Then rigidity of the mirror housing2is further raised.
