FULL DISPLAY MIRROR ON THE GT-R LM NISMO ON DISPLAY AT SEMA

November 6, 2015 by Nissan

LAS VEGAS – How do you look out the back of a Le Mans prototype when you have no rear window?

At this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas, Gentex Corporation is showcasing the solution it provided for Nissan: the Full Display Mirror on the GT-R LM NISMO race car.

Gentex's booth at SEMA features one of the GT-R LM NISMO race cars equipped with the complete rear vision package comprised of glare-eliminating exterior mirrors and a Full Display Mirror system.

The FDM system consists of a custom, high-dynamic-range imager that captures video of the vehicle's rearward view and streams it to a unique mirror-integrated display. These same technologies were used on the GT-R LM NISMO during the 24 Hours of Le Mans earlier this year.

'Gentex is an Official Technical Partner of the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO, so we're incredibly honored to have one of Nissan's race cars in our SEMA booth this year,' said Craig Piersma, Gentex director of marketing. 'Our work on the Nissan race car pushed our development teams and our integration engineers to design a Full Display Mirror system that could handle the ultimate test of performance in the 24 hours of Le Mans. This development work helped us perfect our Full Display Mirror system, which we just began shipping for OEM applications this quarter.'

Gentex's SEMA display will showcase the OEM production version of its FDM technology as well as demonstrate potential future FDM functionality.

Nissan GT-R LM NISMO reflects the art of innovation

Earlier this year, our partners at GoPro joined the NISMO race team from concept to cockpit as we built the radically different LMP1 Nissan GT-R LM NISMO. The GoPro team followed us through the testing and development stage all the way to the Le Mans 24 Hours to produce this amazing 4K mini-documentary.
