Darkening occurs from the edges, moving inward, and is a slow process, ranging from many seconds to 20–30 minutes depending on window size. Newer electrochromic technologies eliminate the yellow cast in the clear state and tinting to more neutral shades of gray, tinting evenly rather than from the outside in, and accelerate the tinting speeds ...
The urethane sealant is protected from UV in sunlight by a band of dark dots called a frit around the edge of the windshield. [3] The darkened edge transitions to the clear windshield with smaller dots to minimize thermal stress in manufacturing. The same band of darkened dots is often expanded around the rearview mirror to act as a sunshade. [4]
It is present because while these mirrors' convexity gives them a useful field of view, it also makes objects appear smaller. Since smaller-appearing objects seem farther away than they actually are, a driver might make a maneuver such as a lane change assuming an adjacent vehicle is a safe distance behind, when in fact it is quite a bit closer ...
Film tinting is the process of adding color to black-and-white film, usually by means of soaking the film in dye and staining the film emulsion.The effect is that all of the light shining through is filtered, so that what would be white light becomes light of some color.
