Miortech develops mirrors and displays based on electrowetting display (EWD) technology. Essentially acting as a high-tech mirror, an EWD is very versatile with fast switching (even at temperatures well below freezing), low weight, low power consumption and integrated display capabilities.
Its unique advantages promise a new generation of automotive mirrors, and even bright reflective color displays.

Safer night driving
Used as an automotive rear view mirror, an electrowetting display darkens within a hundredth of a second. That is much faster than the three seconds taken by conventional dimming mirrors that are now fitted to many cars, and for night driving that can be the difference between seeing clearly and being dazzled.
Uniquely, Miortech’s mirror can dim locally (i.e. selectively). This means that only the bright headlight areas will be dimmed, while the rest of the mirrored image remains at ambient light levels. Conventional mirrors can only turn dark completely, which means that essential image information can get lost (e.g. a cyclist moving between cars).
