ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an optical rearview device installed in the rear part of an vehicle. The optical rearview device of vehicle comprises a light emitting source and a lens set which is mounted in from of the light emitting source. The limit emitting source continuously emits a high intensity incident ray, such as laser ray, falling on to the lens set when the vehicle reverses. The lens set comprises a projecting lens having a light incident plane. A predetermined angle is provided between the light incident plane and the incident ray. The projecting lens reflects and refracts the incident ray which falls on the light incident plane thereof to form at lease two projecting beams. The two high intensity projecting beams projected from the lens set strike an object behind the vehicle to form at least two light spots on the object during reversing the vehicle. Such distance among the light spots on the object are proportional to the distance between the object and the vehicle. Thus, the distance between the object and the vehicle can be determined accurately and easily by observing the distance varying among the light spots on the object behind the vehicle.
