Electrochromic mirror and reflective layer thereof
First Claim
1. An electrochromic mirror for performing color change in response to a voltage applied thereto, comprising:
- a first substrate being light tranmissible;
a second substrate positioned substantially parallel to said first substrate, and spaced apart from said first substrate by a predetermined clearance to form a space therebetween;
a first and a second electrodes provided on opposite surfaces of said first and second substrates facing said space, respectively, for providing a voltage, said first electrode being light transmissible;
an electrochromic composition disposed in said space between said first and second substrates for performing color change in response to said voltage; and
a reflective layer made of aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy and disposed on said second substrate for partially reflecting the light entering from said first substrate back to said first substrate.

Abstract
An electrochromic mirror is provided for performing color change in response to a voltage applied thereto. The electrochromic mirror includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a first and a second electrodes, an electrochromic composition and a reflective layer. The reflective layer is made of aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy and disposed on the second substrate for partially reflecting the light entering from the first substrate back to the first substrate. A reflective layer of an electrochromic mirror for partially reflecting incident light from an image is also provided. The reflective layer includes an aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy layer and an indium tin oxide (ITO) attached to the aluminum-titanium (Al/Ti) alloy layer.
