An electrochromic variable reflectance mirror (110) for motor vehicles, comprising: non-planar front (112) and rear (114) spaced elements, each having front and rear surfaces; a layer of transparent conductive material (118) disposed on said rear surface (112b) of said front element; a reflector (120) disposed on one side of said rear element provided that, if said reflector is on said rear surface of said rear element, then said front surface of said rear element contains a layer of a transparent conductive material; a perimeter sealing member (122) bonding together said front and rear spaced elements in a spaced-apart relationship to define a chamber (116) therebetween, wherein said chamber contains a free-standing gel comprising a solvent and a crosslinked polymer matrix, and wherein said chamber further contains at least one electrochromic material (124); and wherein said polymer matrix cooperatively interacts with said front and rear elements and wherein said reflector material is effective to reflect light through said chamber and said front element when said light reaches said reflector after passing through said front element and said chamber. <IMAGE> |
