  • Patent number: 5575552
    Abstract: A lighted mirror apparatus includes a mirror glass having one or more lighting sections. The mirror glass has a pyrolyric coating on the front surface and an opaque backmasking on the rear surface. Semi-transparent material, such as light control film, may be disposed on the rear surface of the mirror glass on the lighting sections. The lighting sections are normally highly reflective of ambient light, and thus provide additional mirror surface when the lights are deactivated. The lighting sections transmit light from one or more light sources disposed behind the mirror glass when the light sources are activated. Two lighting sections are preferably provided, with one at each end of the mirror surface. Several embodiments are disclosed.
