  • Publication number: 20200156544
    Abstract: A vehicle reflective device where the device reflectivity is adjustable by automatic or manual means, the variable reflectance element including a metallic mirror reflector on one side of a substrate. The variable reflectance function is automatically referenced to ambient light levels (day or night) and manually adjusted in response thereto. In an automatic mode, the variable reflectance assembly provides the user immediate eye protection from reflected high intensity glare by effecting near instantaneous adjustment in mirror reflectivity, such that the intensity of the reflected light impinging on the eye is automatically adjusted so as to be at comfortable levels. The mirror construction is one piece, and allows the viewing of a display monitor located behind the mirror, the mirror and monitor being operatively coupled together.

  • Patent number: 8717521
    Abstract: A reflective device wherein the device reflectivity is adjustable via automatic or manual means. The variable reflectance element includes a metallic mirror reflector on one side of a substrate and additional substrate layers consisting of a polarizer and a LCD whose material characteristics have been optimized for dimming. The mirror assembly provides alternate trigger mechanisms for initiating the dimming function, the dimming function being automatically referenced to ambient light levels (day or night) or manually adjusted or selected. In the automatic mode the dimming mirror assembly provides the user immediate eye protection from reflected high intensity glare by effecting near instantaneous adjustment in mirror reflectivity, such that the intensity of the reflected light impinging on the eyes is automatically adjusted so as to be at comfortable levels. The mirror assembly construction is in one piece, and allows the viewing of a display or TFT monitor located adjacent to the mirror.
