Publication number: 20230251406Abstract: Dynamic mirror assemblies are disclosed that can vary the amount of light reflected, that include a mirror and a switching material. The switching material is placed between the mirror and a viewer, and has a dark state and a light state, and switches state in at least one direction due to a photochromic reaction, and switches in the other direction due to one or more of a photochromic reaction or an electrochromic reaction or a thermal reversion above a threshold temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2021Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: SOLUTIA CANADA INC.Inventors: JONATHAN ROSS SARGENT, RYAN J. GIBSON, JEREMY GRAHAM FINDEN, NEIL ROBIN BRANDA, GREG STUART, JAMES DANIEL SENIOR, MATTHEW NEAL ROBERTS
