CES 2026: Gentex Full-Display Mirror

Frank Markus reports:
Just when you thought that old dog was done learning tricks, Gentex has leveraged an upgrade to an 8K rearview camera, and a higher-resolution (1,920 x 384 pixels) mirror-display screen to enable some interesting new possibilities. 
The camera sees a far larger field of view (114-degree horizontal by 64-degrees vertical) than can ever be displayed on a conventional mirror. It uses this capability to examine differing areas in its Dynamic View Assist. At speed, you get a typical 50–60-degree horizontal field—slightly wider than what a glass mirror can offer. But when a car begins to pass from either side, that edge of the mirror displays a separate blind-spot view. And when slowing to a stop, if a car comes right up behind you, the view widens again, so you see more of that car—not just the hood.
