Abstract: A rear view mirror (1) for a motor vehicle comprising a metal-coated substrate (2) which forms a main mirror surface (4) and is provided in a subarea with an additional blind spot mirror (6) is to provide a particularly high reproduction quality of the reflected image, while production costs are kept down. For this purpose, according to the invention, the additional blind spot mirror (6) is bonded onto the side of the substrate (2) remote from the direction of light incidence on the substrate (2) by a transparent, light-resistant adhesive.

Abstract: A semitransparent mirror includes a front side having a front luminous reflectance of at least 60%; a rear side having a rear luminous reflectance of at most 25%; and a light transmittance of at least 20% with a vertical light incidence under standard illuminant C.

Abstract: A low-glare motor-vehicle includes a color reproduction index Ra of at least 70 and a reduced reflection for each of the illuminants A and C in scotopic vision (at night) as compared with photopic vision (in the daylight) by at least 3%. In one embodiment, the mirror consists of a transparent substrate, a thin transparent metallic layer, an adapted dielectric layer and the reflector properly speaking.

Abstract: A method for producing a multilayer system on a substrate, wherein a first and a second layer are applied on the substrate, in each case by means of a vacuum coating process, provides adherence of the layers on each other, even if at least one of the layers of the multilayer system is porous. The layer applied first is, after its application and prior to the application of the other layer, partly removed again through an ion etching operation.

Abstract: An improved low-glare motor-vehicle mirror is realized by providing it with a multilayer coating comprising the following layers, in the order of their deposition: a transparent metallic layer; a first dielectric layer; a second dielectric layer with a lower refractive index than that of the first dielectric layer, and a metallic reflecting layer.

Abstract: An electrochromic element includes a transparent carrier on which a multilayer system is disposed, the multilayer system including an ion storage layer, a transparent solid-state electrolyte layer), an electrochromic electrode layer, and a reflector layer. The reflector layer has a porosity which is sufficient for the penetration of water or water vapour.
