The larger section of the aspherical mirror glass is convexed (similar to what you're used to when looking through the passenger side mirror in the US). The smaller section on the other side of the dotted line is the bent "aspherical" portion of the mirror glass which extends the viewing angle even further.
You can get an idea of the extended degree of visibility (45°) of the wide angle/aspherical mirrors vs the (17°) visibility of a plain glass mirror:
