ELECTRO-OPTICAL ELEMENT INCLUDING IMI COATINGS

摘要

Electro-optic elements are becoming commonplace in a number of vehicular and architectural applications. Various electro-optic element configurations provide variable transmittance and or variable reflectance for windows and mirrors. The present invention relates to various thin-film coatings, electro-optic elements and assemblies incorporating these elements. In particular it relates to a rear-view mirror element (700) comprising an electrochromic cell in which the rear substrate (712) has a metallic multilayer reflective electrode (718,720,720) on its inner surface.
