Abstract
A twisted flexible optical fiber bundle adapted to be used in viewing devices for transportation vehicles such as automobiles, the twisted fiber bundle being prepared by twisting each of flexible optical fiber gatherings by 180.degree. prior to longitudinally laminating the thus twisted optical fiber gatherings, thereby forming a right side-left side inverted image when used in viewing devices; and viewing devices in which the twisted flexible optical fiber bundle is used as the image transmitting means.
