Abstract: A method of sputter coating a glass substrate includes providing a glass substrate and providing a sputtering assembly for sputtering a coating onto the glass substrate in a vacuum deposition chamber. The sputtering assembly includes a backing plate and a separating element disposed on the backing plate. At least one target element is provided and disposed at and in contact with a surface of the separating element. The target element is not bonded the separating element when disposed at and in contact with the surface of the separating element. An expansion gap is provided at or adjacent to the target element to allow for expansion of the target element during the sputtering process. Material from the target element is sputtered and the target element is heated to a substantially elevated temperature during the sputtering process. The sputtering process coats a surface of the glass substrate with the target element material.

Abstract: A mirror reflective element sub-assembly includes a mirror reflective element and a mirror back plate. The back plate has an indicator mounting portion. An aperture is established through the back plate generally at the indicator mounting portion. A heater pad is disposed between the mirror reflective element and the back plate. The heater pad has a light transmitting portion generally aligned with the aperture of the back plate. A self-contained substantially sealed indicator is mounted at the indicator mounting portion and has a light source that is activatable to emit light. When an equipped exterior rearview mirror assembly is mounted at a side of a vehicle and with the light source activated, light emitted by the light source transmits through the aperture of the back plate and the light transmitting portion of the heater pad and exits the mirror reflective element.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head and a reflective element accommodated by the mirror head. The reflective element includes a bi-directional aspheric curved glass substrate and a mirror reflector coated at a surface of the bi-directional aspheric curved glass substrate. The size of the reflective element has a width dimension of less than 15 cm and a height dimension of less than 9 cm. The reflective element, as viewed when the equipped vehicle is normally operated, provides a rearward view of at least 15 degrees horizontally relative to the side of the equipped vehicle. Curvature of the reflective element is established, at least in part, by coordinates of a driver's eye viewpoint location and coordinates of an image plane that will provide a desired view from the driver's eye viewpoint location based at least in part on the size of the reflective element.

Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head that accommodates a prismatic mirror reflective element. A camera is accommodated by the mirror head. The mirror reflective element is adhesively attached at a mirror back plate of the mirror head. An optically clear adhesive (OCA) and a neutral density (ND) filter are disposed between the mirror back plate and a mirror reflector coating disposed at a rear side of the mirror reflective element. The camera views through (i) the OCA, (ii) the ND filter, (iii) the mirror reflector coating of the mirror reflective element, and (iv) the glass substrate of the mirror reflective element. With the interior rearview mirror assembly attached at an interior portion of a vehicle, image data captured by the camera is processed at an electronic control unit (ECU) for a cabin monitoring function.
