Patent ID: 8614845

Claim:
A rearview assembly having a front and comprising: an electrochromic (EC) mirror element, the EC mirror element including: a first substrate having a first surface corresponding to the front, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a rounded edge configured to improve durability of the first substrate, the second surface having a ring of spectral filter material disposed circumferentially around a perimeter of the second surface; a second substrate having third and fourth surfaces and an edge surface, the second substrate being smaller than the first substrate and disposed in a parallel and spaced-apart relationship with respect to the first substrate such that a perimeter of the second substrate is concealed behind the first substrate the second and third surfaces defining a gap therebetween; and an EC medium in said gap; and a moveable mirror-element-supporting assembly mechanically cooperated with the mirror element and configured to support the mirror-element, said assembly including a substantially rigid portion extending along a back of the mirror element, and a peripheral portion integrated with the substantially rigid portion, configured to extend from the substantially rigid portion towards the front such as to keep the rounded edge observable and to conceal the edge surface of the second substrate.
