ANTI-DAZZLE MIRROR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1985/003136

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An anti-dazzle mirror used as a mirror such as a rear-view mirror, a side mirror, etc., is adapted to prevent dazzle by the use of an electro-optical element which can electrically control the transmission of light. The anti-dazzle mirror is constituted by two parts: a part which includes at least the lower half of the mirror and acts as a dazzle-preventing part which blocks off glare; and the rest is a non dazzle-preventing part which does not block glare. By such a construction, the rays of light from the headlights of a following car when drivig at night are blocked by the dazzle-preventing part, so that it is possible to prevent the driver being dazzled. Further, since the shape of the following car is clearly reflected, even when glare is blocked, by the non dazzle-preventing part constituted by the rest of the mirror, it is possible to clearly see the reflected image of the following car.
