Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustably disposed at a mounting structure. An electro-optic reflective element is attached at an attachment element that attaches at an electrically powered actuator disposed in the mirror head. The attachment element includes a protruding portion that is at least partially received at a notched region of the rear glass substrate when the reflective element is disposed at the attachment element. An outer surface of the protruding portion of the attachment element corresponds with the second perimeter edge of the rear glass substrate at the notched region of the rear glass substrate. With the electro-optic reflective element disposed at the mirror head, the outer surface of the protruding portion provides a curved transition from an outer surface of the mirror head toward the first surface of the front glass substrate.

Abstract: An electrochromic mirror reflective element for a vehicular rearview mirror assembly includes front and rear glass substrates with an electrochromic medium disposed therebetween and with a fourth surface reflector coated at the fourth surface of the rear substrate. Light incident at the first surface of the front substrate passes (i) through the front substrate, (ii) through a transparent electrically conductive coating at the second surface of the front substrate and (iii) through the electrochromic medium, whereby light passing through the electrochromic medium is partially reflected at a third surface reflector and is partially transmitted through the third surface reflector, and wherein light passing through the electrochromic medium that is partially transmitted through the third surface reflector passes through the rear substrate and is at least partially reflected off the fourth surface reflector at the fourth surface of the rear substrate to provide enhanced reflectivity of said electrochromic mirror reflective element.

Abstract: A method of making a mirror substrate for an interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes providing a glass substrate having a generally planar front surface, a generally planar rear surface and a circumferential perimeter edge about a periphery of said glass substrate and extending between the front and rear surfaces. A grinding wheel is moved around the periphery of a front perimeter portion of the glass substrate while rotating the grinding wheel to establish a ground generally rounded surface about and around the glass substrate periphery. A polishing wheel is moved around the glass substrate periphery while rotating the polishing wheel to establish a polished generally rounded surface about and around the glass substrate periphery. The polished generally rounded surface provides a smooth transition between the generally planar front surface of the glass substrate and a rear portion of the circumferential perimeter edge of the glass substrate.
