Abstract: An electrochromic mirror is disclosed for use in a vehicle rearview mirr or assembly (110) having an electronic device (160, 170, 220, 725) positioned behind the electrochromic mirror for selectively projecting and/or receiving light through the mirror. The electrochromic mirror includes an electrode (120) that includes a layer of reflective material (121) and a coating of electrically conductive material (172) that is at least partially transmissive. The second electrode further includes a region (146) in front of the electronic device that is least partially transmissive. The electrically conductive coating may include a single transparent layer or a plurality of partially reflective and transmissive layers, or an electrically conductive dichroic coating. The electronic device may be a light source such as an information display (170) or a signal light (220).

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, an electrochromic rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes an electrochromic mirror (110, 920) having a variable reflectivity, a glare sensor (160, 234) for sensing levels of light directed towards the front element from the rear of the vehicle, an ambient sensor (232) for sensing levels of ambient light, a display (146, 170) positioned behind the partially transmissive, partially reflective portion of the reflector for displaying information therethrough; and a control circuit (230, 900) coupled to the sensors and the display. The control circuit determines whether daytime or nightime conditions are present as a function of the ambient light level sensed by the glare sensor to control a contrast ratio of light originating from the display and light reflecting from the partially transmissive, partially reflective area of the reflector.

Abstract: Un elemento electrocrómico que comprende un primer sustrato que tiene una primera superficie y una segunda superficie opuesta a la primera superficie, un segundo sustrato en relación espaciada al primer sustrato y que tiene una tercera superficie orientada hacia la segunda superficie y una cuarta superficie opuesta a la tercera superficie, y un medio electrocrómico localizado entre los primeros y segundos sustratos, en donde el medio tiene una transmitancia de luz que es variable con la aplicación de un campo eléctrico al mismo. El elemento además comprende una capa de electrodo transparente que cubre al menos una porción de al menos una seleccionada de la primera superficie, la segunda superficie, la tercera superficie, y la cuarta superficie, en donde la capa de electrodo transparente comprende una pila de aislante/metal/aislante. Los materiales utilizados para construir la pila de aislante/metal/aislante se seleccionan para optimizar propiedades ópticas y físicas del elemento tal como reflectividad, color, estabilidad de cambio eléctrico, y durabilidad ambiental.
