Zusammenfassung:An electro-optic assembly includes a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface. A second substrate has a third surface and a fourth surface that is opposite the third surface. The first and second substrates are disposed in a parallel and spaced apart relationship so as to define a cavity therebetween. The second and third surfaces face each other. An electro-optic medium is located in the cavity. A first electrode layer is located on the second surface, and a second electrode layer is located on the third surface. A reflective element is disposed behind the electro-optic medium, opposite the first substrate. A photodiode light sensor is configured to detect a glare from a light, and a control system is configured to adjust an applied electrical potential to the electro-optic medium as a result of the detected glare.
