Vehicle interior rearview mirror assembly with display

The present invention relates to rearview mirror assemblies and, more particularly, to vehicular rearview mirror systems incorporating information displays. A vehicle rearview mirror system for a vehicle includes a rearview mirror assembly having a reflective element and a mirror case, which is adapted to mount to a vehicle. The mirror system further includes a display, which has at least one display character, and a display screen, which is provided at the mirror case. The display screen has a central viewing area generally aligned along a viewing axis. The display screen shifts the image of the display character from the display element, which is offset from the viewing axis, to the central viewing area of the display screen. The display screen shifts the image by at least one of refraction and diffraction so that the image of the display characters may be viewed by an occupant of the vehicle.
