Automatic anti-dazzle rear view mirror
The interior automatic anti-dazzle rear-view mirror darkens progressively when the driver is dazzled from behind.
This rear view mirror consists of a mirror and an electronic component with two photosensors.
Through the photosensors, the electronic device detects incident light from the front and rear.
If the incident light from the rear is greater than that from the front, a current is applied to the conductive layer.
The current modifies the colour of the electrolyte. The greater the current, the darker the electrolyte layer. The incident light is not reflected as intensely.
When reverse gear is engaged, the anti-dazzle function is deactivated. Thus, it is possible to reverse, for example, out of a dark garage, using the rear view mirror.
