1. A vehicle mirror having a transparent carrier, an adhesive layer, and a liquid crystal cell, the vehicle mirror comprising:

  • a first foil film;

    a first electrically conductive layer and a second electrically conductive layer, wherein the second electrically conductive layer is a reflector layer;

    a first alignment layer and a second alignment layer;

    a liquid crystal region, wherein spacers are arranged in this region and the liquid crystal region is arranged adjacent between the first and second alignment layers and the first and second electrically conductive layers;

    a second foil film;

    wherein at least the first alignment layer is removed at a predetermined region, so that crystals of the adjacent liquid crystal region are disordered at the predetermined region; and

    wherein, when the first and second electrically conductive layers are unpowered, the crystals of the liquid crystal region between the first and second alignment layers are aligned so that the mirror is in an undimmed mode, and wherein, when the first and second electrically conductive layers are powered, the crystals of the liquid crystal region between the first and second alignment layers are not aligned so that the mirror is in a dimmed mode.
