PURPOSE: A rearview mirror on which the light experiences no optical distortions, is provided. CONSTITUTION: Proposed is a rearview mirror in which a reflective coating(16) is found on the outer side(12) of a mirror carrier(6). The carrier(6) then, no longer serves for the support of a separate mirror element, for instance, a glass plate or the like and further the carrier(6) is not provided on its own inner surface with the reflective coating(16). In other words, the carrier(6), that is, the material of the carrier(6), need not show any special qualities of an optical nature. Thus, preparatory steps for the machining and finishing of the inner surface, such as polishing, before application of the reflective coating(16), which steps are expensive in time and cost, can be dispensed with, since the reflective coating(16) is, in the present invention, directly on the outside(12) of the carrier.
