Electrochromic mirrors Explanation: Yes, you are right. I'm copying below a text that includes this term. Giood luck! "Electrochromic mirrors Electrochromic mirrors are available that automatically adjust the amount of reflectance based on the intensity of glare. The process is similar to that used by photo-gray or photochromic sunglasses. If the glare is heavy, the mirror darkens to about 6% reflectivity. The electrochromic mirror has the advantage that it provides a comfort zone where the mirror will provide 20% to 30% reflectivity. When no glare is present, the mirror changes to the daytime reflectivity rating of up to 85%. The reduction of the glare by darkening of the mirror does not impair visibility. Electrochromic mirrors are also installed as inside mirrors. The mirror is constructed of a thin layer of electrochromic material that is placed between two plates of conductive glass. There are two photocell sensors that measure light intensity in front and in back of the mirror. During night driving, the headlight beam striking the mirror causes the mirror to gradually become darker as the light intensity increases. The darker mirror absorbs the glare. Sensitivity of the mirror can be adjusted by the driver through a three-position switch." (http://www.autoweb.lycos.com/garage/subsys/baacce03.htm) |
