Gentex Corporation, the leading supplier of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to the worldwide automotive industry, has announced that it is shipping its Rear Camera Display (RCD) Mirror and base feature auto-dimming mirrors for the new Toyota Corolla Verso multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The Verso is sold throughout Europe.

The Gentex auto-dimming interior mirror with RCD is in popular packages on many of the trim levels sold throughout the continent. The RCD Mirror contains a liquid crystal display (LCD) that works with a video camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle to provide a view directly behind the vehicle while backing up. When the vehicle is shifted into "reverse," a display appears automatically through the auto-dimming mirror's reflective surface. The display disappears when the vehicle is shifted into any other gear, a capability that is made possible utilizing Gentex's "transflective" coating and lighting techniques, which result in a bright, high-resolution color image.

"This is the first vehicle built in Europe and designed specifically for the European market to incorporate our auto-dimming RCD Mirrors," said Enoch Jen, Gentex Senior Vice President. "Gentex technology has been well received in Europe and having the RCD Mirror offered on a number of trim levels further demonstrates consumer interest for this new feature."

Founded in 1974, Gentex Corporation is an international company that provides high-quality products to the worldwide automotive industry and North American fire protection market. Based in Zeeland, Michigan, the Company develops, manufactures and markets interior and exterior automatic-dimming automotive rearview mirrors that utilize proprietary electrochromic technology to dim in proportion to the amount of headlight glare from trailing vehicle headlamps.
