Patent ID: 7800807

Claim:
An electrochromic mirror comprising: an electrochromic film that is colored due to being subjected to a reduction reaction; an electrically conductive reflective film having electrical conductivity that is formed at one thickness direction side of the electrochromic film and reflects light that has transmitted through the electrochromic film; an electrically conductive film having electrical conductivity that is provided at one thickness direction side of the electrochromic film and at a side of the electrically conductive reflective film that is opposite from the electrochromic film; an electrolytic solution that comprises lithium ions and is enclosed between the electrically conductive reflective film and the electrically conductive film, and in which, due to applying a voltage such that the electrically conductive film is made positive and the electrically conductive reflective film is made negative, the lithium ions move toward the side of the electrochromic film and are provided to the reduction reaction of the electrochromic film; and a reduction reaction compensation unit that compensates the reduction reaction by storing electrical charge in a state in which the voltage is applied or by carrying out an oxidation reaction with negative ions in the electrolytic solution.
