Abstract: An electrochromic variable reflectance mirror for automotive vehicles is provided. The mirror has front and rear spaced elements, each having front and rear surfaces. The rear surface of the front element has a layer of transparent conductive material disposed thereon. The front surface of the rear element has a reflector/electrode including at least a layer of highly reflective material and a flash over-coat layer. The front and rear spaced elements are sealably bonded together in a spaced-apart relationship to define a chamber. The chamber contains at least one solution-phase electrochromic material in contact with the flash layer. The reflector/electrode is effective to reflect light through the medium and the front element when the light reaches the reflector/electrode after passing through the front element and the at least one electrochromic material. The reflector/electrode is constructed such that the electrochromic variable reflectance mirror exhibits a reflectance of at least 70%.

Abstract: An electrochromic mirror is disclosed for use in a vehicle rearview mirror 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 lest 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 sensor (160) or a light source such as an information display (170) or a signal light (220).

Abstract: An EC variable reflectance mirror (110) for a vehicle includes a reflector/electrode (120) on the third surface (114a) of the mirror. This reflector/electrode forms an integral electrode in contact with the electrochromic media, and may be a single layer of a highly reflective material or may comprise a series of coatings.
