The functionality of the outside mirror glass

The mirror element is a spare part consisting of a plastic base and a mirror part. The design is designed to avoid glare and distortion. It is important to remember that the mirror tends to show objects farther than they actually are.

The surface of the mirrors is different:

1. without processing;
2. neutral anti-reflective coating;
3. colored anti-reflective coating.

Depending on this, visibility, clarity are improved, and glare is also reduced.

There are various types of reflective elements. Consider the popular varieties:

1. flat;
2. aspherical (part of the element is flat);
3. convex.

Today, the latter type of parts can be found more and more often. This is due to the fact that such mirrors are able to guarantee excellent visibility (up to 9 meters) and almost complete absence of blind spots. Thus, the convex mirror elements are able to guarantee more safety.
