Mirror reflective element assembly

Abstract

A reflective element assembly for a mirror assembly of a vehicle includes a reflective element substrate and a conductive trace or layer disposed at a rear surface of the reflective element substrate. A non-conductive layer is applied at the conductive layer and covers at least a portion of the conductive layer and leaves at least some portions of the conductive layer exposed. At least one circuitry component is applied to at least one of the portions of the conductive layer.

1 . A reflective element assembly for a mirror assembly of a vehicle, said reflective element comprising:
 a reflective element substrate having a rear surface and a front surface;   a conductive layer disposed at said rear surface of said reflective element substrate;   a non-conductive layer applied at said conductive layer and covering at least a portion of said conductive layer and leaving at least one portion of said conductive layer exposed; and   at least one circuitry component applied to at least one portion of said conductive layer.
