Electrochromic mirror and room mirror module for vehicle comprising the same
First Claim
1. An electrochromic mirror, comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other;
an electrochromic layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a first electrode interposed between the first substrate and the electrochromic layer;
a conductive reflection layer interposed between the electrochromic layer and the second substrate; and
a voltage source connected to the first electrode and the conductive reflection layer;
wherein at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate is a flexible transparent film material;
wherein the electrochromic layer has a memory effect related to discoloration and decolorization of the electrochromic layer;
wherein the electrochromic mirror is configured such that the voltage source applies a voltage based on a memory of the electrochromic layer such that the voltage is applied only upon the discoloration and decolorization of the electrochromic layer, and the voltage source applies a reverse voltage such that the reverse voltage is applied upon the decolorization;
wherein the electrochromic layer corn irises a solid electrochromic material layer and an electrolyte layer; and
wherein the solid electrochromic material layer is coated on both surfaces of the electrolyte layer.

Abstract
Provided are an electrochromic mirror and a method of manufacturing the same, the electrochromic mirror including: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; and an electrochromic layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and containing an electrochromic material and an electrolyte, wherein at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate is a transparent film, whereby an entire thickness and weight of the electrochromic mirror can be reduced, and as a result, the degree of design freedom can be improved, and since the electrochromic layer containing the electrochromic material and the electrolyte is formed by a coating method, the efficiency of a manufacturing process can be improved, and a production cost can be reduced.
