    One-way mirror - Wikipedia

    • A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of one-way transmission is achieved when one side of the mirror is brightly lit and the other side is dark. This allows viewing from the darken… See more

    History

    The first U.S. patent for a one-way mirror appeared in 1903, then named a "transparent mirror". See more

    Principle of operation

    The glass is coated with, or has been encased within, a thin and almost transparent layer of metal (window film usually containing aluminium). The result is a mirrored surface that reflects some light and is pene… See more

      What is One-Way Glass and How is it Used?

      Sep 27, 2021 · One-way glass, also referred to as half-silvered mirror glass, is transparent on one side and reflective on the other. A metallic coating is applied to one side of the glass, making it reflective to light.

      Why is a one-way mirror called a half-silvered surface?
      A one-way mirror has a reflective coating applied in a very thin, sparse layer -- so thin that it's called a half-silvered surface. The name half-silvered comes from the fact that the reflective molecules coat the glass so sparsely that only about half the molecules needed to make the glass an opaque mirror are applied.

      What is a half-silvered mirror?
      Another design is the use of a half-silvered mirror. This is composed of an optical substrate, which is often a sheet of glass or plastic, with a partially transparent thin coating of metal. The thin coating can be aluminium deposited from aluminium vapor using a physical vapor deposition method.

      What is silvering a mirror?
      Silvering is the chemical process of coating a non-conductive substrate such as glass with a reflective substance, to produce a mirror. While the metal is often silver, the term is used for the application of any reflective metal.

      Why is glass half-silvered?
      The name half-silvered comes from the fact that the reflective molecules coat the glass so sparsely that only about half the molecules needed to make the glass an opaque mirror are applied. At the molecular level, there are reflective molecules speckled all over the glass in an even film but only half of the glass is covered.

      What is a one-way mirror?
      A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror[ 1 ] (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of one-way transmission is achieved when one side of the mirror is brightly lit and the other side is dark.

      What is a silver coating on a mirror?
      The reflective layer on a second surface mirror such as a household mirror is often actual silver. A modern "wet" process for silver coating treats the glass with tin (II) chloride to improve the bonding between silver and glass. An activator is applied after the silver has been deposited to harden the tin and silver coatings.
