Safety and More
There are many reasons to consider Gentex auto-dimming rearview mirrors. Not only do they increase driving safety by eliminating accident-causing glare, but they also provide car manufacturers with a cost-effective way to offer customers value-added electronic devices and other features.

Increasing Driving Safety
Why should you consider Gentex auto-dimming mirrors? Because rearview mirror glare causes accidents. It's that simple.

Research shows that during nighttime driving, headlight glare from the vehicles traveling behind you can be blinding. Even once the source of the glare is removed, an after-image remains on the eye's retina that creates a blind spot you may not even know exists. Known as the Troxler Effect, this phenomenon increases driver reaction time by up to 1.4 seconds. At 60 mph, you'd drive over 123 feet before you even reacted to the danger in front of you.

Auto-dimming mirrors make nighttime driving safer by detecting glare and automatically dimming to protect driver vision. Airbags, crumple zones and the like may help you survive a crash, but auto-dimming mirrors help you avoid one altogether.

When it comes to automotive safety, why take risks with inferior products?
Gentex is the industry leader -- a tested, proven supplier.

The Industry Pioneer
Gentex pioneered the electrochromic (EC), auto-dimming mirror industry. In fact, we created it. For over 20 years, automakers looked for ways to eliminate rearview mirror glare, and not until we invented the world's first auto-dimming mirror did a viable technology exist. See our "Corporate Overview" section for more information.

Superior Manufacturing
Because we literally invented the electrochromic mirror industry, we also had to develop the supply base, manufacturing techniques and testing methods. It was a long learning curve. But today, our experience, knowledge and hard work has paid off, because no other glare reduction mirror provider in the world can match our manufacturing capabilities - not in yields, quality or volume.

Superior Quality
No other EC mirror manufacturer in the world can match Gentex's product quality. Our proprietary EC technology has inherent, far-reaching advantages over competitive glare-reduction techniques. In addition, ours are the only mirrors to meet the worldwide automotive specifications for durability and visual acuity.
