Abstract
Laboratory samples of up to 160 cm2 large, unstructured, reflecting, all-solid-state, electrochromic, devices have been developed. These mirrors allow the continuous change of the reflectance between about 5 % and 60 % the chosen reflectance being constant without energy supply. A possible future application is an inside and outside automotive rear view mirror with adjustable reflectance. The basic electrochromic reaction, different modes of operation, and optical and electrical properties of e.c. mirrors according to the present state of development are reported and discussed.
