Abstract: A rearview mirror assembly includes a housing, a bezel and an electro-optic mirror element. The electro-optic mirror element includes a first substantially transparent substrate having an edge extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of the first substantially transparent substrate and a second substrate having a second edge extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of the second substrate and a fourth surface. The first substantially transparent substrate and the second substrate define a cavity therebetween. An electro-optic material is disposed within the cavity. The edge of the first substantially transparent substrate and the second edge of the second substrate are coupled to at least one of the bezel and the housing.

Abstract: A rearview assembly having a mounting structure configured to be operably coupled with a vehicle. A housing is operably connected with the mounting structure and a rearward viewing device is supported by one of the housing and the mounting structure. The rearward viewing device provides a rearward view to a vehicle driver and includes a front substrate and a rear substrate. The entire front surface of the front substrate is exposed and the entire rear substrate is positioned behind the front substrate. A concealing layer is disposed about a periphery of the rearward viewing device between the front substrate and the rear substrate. A partially optically transparent bezel is disposed adjacent to both the rearward viewing device and the housing, the optically transparent bezel having an edge radius greater than 2.5 mm and the optically transparent bezel being substantially flush with the front surface of the front substrate.

Abstract: A rearview assembly is disclosed for use in a vehicle for providing a rearward view from the vehicle. In one example, the rearview assembly includes at least one substrate having a partially transmissive coating and a light sensor proximate the at least one substrate. The rearview assembly further includes a secondary optic. The secondary optic has a first surface facing outward toward the at least one substrate and a second surface facing inward toward the light sensor. Vertical flutes extend uniformly along the first surface and horizontal flutes extend uniformly along the second surface. The secondary optic is configured to control a field of view of the light sensor.

Abstract: An automotive visor includes an electrochromic element defining a planar width and height and a mounting structure coupled with the electrochromic element along a first side of a perimeter thereof and configured for rotatably mounting the automotive visor within a vehicle interior. The mounting structure includes a first frame member defining a first interior face and a first channel portion and a second frame member defining a second interior face and a second channel portion. The first frame member and the second frame member are coupled together with the first and second faces in mutual contact and the first and second channel portions defining a channel receiving the first side of the perimeter therein. Each of the first and second frame members further define respective spacer projections that extend inwardly into the channel and contact opposing first and second faces of the electrochromic element, respectively.

Abstract: A window apparatus of a vehicle includes a movable panel that selectively encloses an exterior opening of the vehicle. The movable panel includes an electro-optic apparatus configured to adjust in transmittance. A wireless connection interface includes a vehicle-side coupling module and a panel-side coupling module. The vehicle-side coupling module is in connection with a support frame of the vehicle forming an opening that receives the movable panel. The vehicle-side coupling module is aligned with an interface surface of the movable panel. The wireless connection interface communicates power or electrical signals from a transmission unit of the vehicle-side coupling module to a reception module of the panel-side coupling module.
