Abstract: An electrochromic mirror is provided for performing color change in response to a voltage applied thereto. The electrochromic mirror includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a first and a second electrodes, an electrochromic composition and a reflective layer. The reflective layer is made of aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy and disposed on the second substrate for partially reflecting the light entering from the first substrate back to the first substrate. A reflective layer of an electrochromic mirror for partially reflecting incident light from an image is also provided. The reflective layer includes an aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy layer and an indium tin oxide (ITO) attached to the aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy layer.
