Photocatalytic
ActivMirror is a revolutionary mirror technology that utilizes the most advanced nanotechnology known as Photocatalysis. Photocatalytic mirror has many unique yet extremely practical features in automotive applications. First being the hydrophilic nature of the mirror. Hydrophilic equals to no water beading like in a conventional mirror which also translates into absolute clear vision during rain. This hydrophilic ability is achieved by coating the mirror with 2 layers; SiO2 & TiO2 layers. SiO2 is the true hydrophilic outer layer that prevents water from forming beads but instead a consistent film so that optically-clear vision is possible. The inner TiO2 layer absorbs solar rays and decomposes organic matter through the photocatalytic process, this results in continuous self-cleaning action. These 2 layers work seamlessly to provide the best possible vision all year around under any weather condition.

Anti-Glare
And the technology doesn't stop here. ActivMirror is anti-glare and reflects around 60% blue light while filtering out uncomfortable yellow and red light. Images through ActivMirror appear softer & clearer with higher image contrast. This dramatically enhances both day time (sun glare) and night time (headlights) driving.

• Exhibits a maximum reflection of ± 60% at l=460nm
• Anti-glare by filtering out red & yellow light - the most reactive (eye-straining) light to the human eyes, the result is a nice blue reflection tint
• High visibility day or night, sun or rain
• Self-cleaning using the power of sun

Hydrophilic
Conventional mirror surface is water resistant/repellent (i.e. hydrophobic), water drops form on the surface and obstruct sight due to double light reflection and refraction as created by the drops. Hydrophilic ActivMirror, on the other hand, allows water to form a continuous film throughout the surface. This way, we can get clear vision even during rainy environment. This very special super hydrophilic property results in a small contact angle between TiO2 photocatalyst and water drops. Moreover, oil and dirt cannot adhere to mirror surface easily and mirror can be cleaned with water instead of detergent during maintenance. ActivMirror is also anti-fog and can melt frost quicker than normal.
