Abstract

An electrochromic mirror is disclosed for use in a vehicle rearview mirror assembly (110) having an electronic device (160, 170, 220, 725) positioned behind the electrochromic mirror for selectively projecting and/or receiving light through the mirror. The electrochromic mirror includes an electrode (120) that includes a layer of reflective material (121) and a coating of electrically conductive material (172) that is at least partially transmissive. The second electrode further includes a region (146) in front of the electronic device that is least partially transmissive. The electrically conductive coating may include a single transparent layer or a plurality of partially reflective and transmissive layers, or an electrically conductive dichroic coating. The electronic device may be a light sensor (160) or a light source such as an information display (170) or a signal light (220).
