1. An electrochromic mirror comprising:
- (a) a transparent conductive substrate having a periphery and a first conductive surface;
(b) a reflective conductive substrate having a periphery and a second conductive surface;
(c) an ion conductive layer disposed between the transparent conductive substrate and the reflective conductive substrate;
a highly conductive layer provided on at least one of a peripheral portion of the first and second conductive surfaces, the highly conductive layer having a surface resistance lower than a surface resistance of the conductive surface upon which it is disposed, wherein the transparent conductive substrate and the reflective conductive substrate are joined at their respective peripheries with a sealant containing 0.01 to 10 percent by mass of beads having an average particle size of 20 to 200 μ
m, such that the highly conductive layer is separated from the ion conductive layer.

Abstract
An electrochromic mirror includes a transparent conductive substrate, a reflective conductive substrate, and an ion conductive layer disposed between the transparent conductive substrate and reflective conductive substrate. A highly conductive layer is provided on a conductive surface of at least one of the conductive substrates on a portion of the surface near its peripheral edge. The highly conductive layer has a smaller resistance than the surface resistance of the conductive surface upon which it is disposed.
