ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICE HAVING A SELF-CLEANING HYDROPHILIC COATING WITH A CONTROLLED SURFACE MORPHOLOGY

摘要

A variable reflectance rearview mirror for a vehicle, comprising: (a) a variable reflectance mirror element having a reflectivity that varies in response to an applied potential so as to exhibit at least a high reflectance state and a low reflectance state; (b) a self- cleaning, hydrophilic coating (300) applied to a front surface of said mirror element having a controlled surface morphology (312).
