Drivers of modern vehicles are likely to be familiar with the concept of an auto-dimming mirror. These mirrors self-adjust from a regular, reflective surface to a darker color. The impetus for the adjustment is a flash of light from a vehicle's head beam. This technology actually has an interesting process behind it. Learn how electrochromism plays a role in auto-dimming.
Electrochromism is the chemical process behind auto-dimming mirrors. Electrochromatic displays make it possible for these mirrors to become smart glass.
