Abstract

This invention discloses a glare-shielding reflector which controls light reflectance electrically. The present invention provides a glare-shielding type reflector having a photosensor block which can detect an incident angle of a luminous flux to the reflector and a glare-shielding layer which is divided into plural units and driven individually. A glare-shielding layer formed on a front surface of a mirror is divided into plural units and only the specified glare-shielding units are automatically put into a glare-shielding state, according to the incident angle of the luminous flux to the mirror.
