  • Patent number: 11531218
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a dimming mirror and a manufacturing method thereof, and a dimming apparatus. The dimming mirror includes a dimming layer including a plurality of dimming units. Each of the dimming units includes a first driving structure and a second driving structure opposite to each other, and an elastic supporting structure disposed between the first driving structure and the second driving structure. The first and second driving structures and the elastic supporting structure enclose a dimming chamber. The first and second driving structures are configured to adjust a dimming angle of the dimming unit by adjusting a gap width of the dimming chamber, such that a response wavelength of the dimming mirror is adjusted. The present disclosure facilitates the improvement of the flexibility of the dimming mirror.
