  • Vehicle rear-view mirror and method of making same
    Patent number: 6717732
    Abstract: A vehicle rear-view mirror has a light-transmitting filtering layer for filtering out interfering fractions of the light entering the filtering layer in the yellow spectral range. The mirror includes an interference reflector which has a plurality of thin layers for the reflection of the light impinging on the mirror. The degree of reflection of the interference reflector is less in the yellow spectral range than in the green and/or red wavelength range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2002
    Date of Patent: April 6, 2004
    Assignees: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Wolfgang Meyr, Joseph Laux, Helmut Piringer

  • Vehicle rear view mirror with silicone gel as an adhesive
    Patent number: 5566031
    Abstract: A vehicle rear view mirror comprising a mirror plate which is provided with a reflection layer and, on the surface facing the viewer of the mirror, is provided with a scratch-resistant protective layer. An adhesive layer which is essentially made of a silicone gel is arranged between the mirror plate and the reflection layer or between the reflection layer and the scratch-resistant protective layer. The silicone gel adhesive layer is formed by an addition cross-linking two-part silicone rubber and exhibits an elasticity which prevents excessive tensions in the mirror layers due to different thermal expansion coefficient of the layers.
