Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the reflectivity of a rear view mirror to prevent the mirror from glaring, by controlling the transmissivity of a liquid crystal plate covering the entire surface of the rear view mirror in accordance with the voltage which is proportional to the difference between the light amount of rear view of the rear view of the rear view mirror and the light amount of the surrounding of the vehicle. CONSTITUTION:A first solar battery 1 produces an output voltage E1 in accordance with the amount of light A illuminated to a back mirror 3 from the rear, and simultaneously, a second sollar battery 2 generates an output voltage E2 in accordance with the amount of light B surrounding a vehicle. Further, the first and second solar batteries 1, 2 are connected with each other in a reverse polarity, the output difference E2-E1 may be obtained, and is applied to a liquid crystal plate 4 covering over the entire surface of the rear view mirror 3. When the output voltage E1 of the first solar battery 1 is high, the transmissivity of the liquid crystal plate 4 is lowered to decrease the reflectivity of the rear view mirror 3, and therefore, a reflected light A' is obtained with respect to an incident light A to prevent the mirror from glaring.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the auto-dimming mirror of the present invention, the transmittance of the liquid crystal plate covered with gold on the entire rearview mirror is proportional to the difference between the amount of light A in the rear view of the rearview mirror and the amount B of the surrounding brightness. By controlling this voltage, as the amount of light in the rear view increases, the total transmittance of the liquid crystal panel is lowered, and the reflectance of the rearview mirror 3 is reduced to prevent glare. In this way, since the anti-glare mechanism makes full use of the liquid crystal, which operates with extremely low power, the liquid crystal can be sufficiently driven by the energy generated by the solar cell from the amount of light A in the rear view of the rearview mirror.
