Title: A method of reducing the effect of headlight dazzle
IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 1978-11-09
Abstract: A method of reducing the effect of headlight dazzle on the drivers of two approaching vehicles comprises the steps of providing, for each vehicle, headlight lenses and windscreens which are plane-polarized to transmit light predominantly in a single plane in the region of, but not exactly at, 45 DEG  to the vertical so that light transmitted by the headlights of each vehicle is polarized in an opposite sense to that which passes through the windscreen of the approaching vehicle so that the apparent intensity of light from the headlights is greatly reduced.
