<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electro-optical elements, and devices incorporating these elements. <P>SOLUTION: A mirror includes an electro-optic mirror subassembly, and a thin-profiled bezel attached around a perimeter of the electro-optic mirror subassembly. The electro-optic mirror subassembly is supported on a carrier by an adheringly bonded heater and foam tape in a laminar arrangement. The bezel may be bonded to an edge of the front surface of the front element of the electro-optic mirror subassembly, and/or may be bonded and/or interlockingly mechanically attached to an edge of the carrier. Alternatively, the bezel can be a strip of paint or thin coating material. The bezel can be molded in place, or can be pre-molded and elastically stretched to permit assembly. In one form, the bezel includes a laterally-extending fin that prevents seeing past the bezel into the inside of a mirror housing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
