Abstract
Recent developments for luxury car industries have been in favor of anti-glare color-tint side-view exterior car mirrors. In this study, we explore the designs, the fabrications, and the investigations of anti-glare blue-tint samples suitable for the side-view car mirrors. With an aid of the thin film design software, the TiO2-based backside-coated optical systems are prepared by the homemade and the retailed sputtering systems, and examined for the reflection spectra and the chromaticity diagrams. From four major designs of the anti-glare blue-tint mirrors, the ultra-thin metallic layer and the dielectric stack with the bottommost reflective layer offer the blue-tint at 85% highest reflection. Although the design requires only 40min of the deposition time, the careful control of the ultra-thin metallic film thickness is crucial. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
