The disclosed electrochromic element includes a first electrode, a second electrode opposed to the first electrode, an electrochromic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a plurality of first interconnections electrically connected to the first electrode. The first electrode has a single section in a first region overlapping with the electrochromic layer in a plan view. The plurality of first interconnections is electrically connected to the first electrode via a first lead-out electrode provided in a second region in contact with the first region in the plan view. A region between the plurality of first interconnections and the first electrode has a resistance lower than a region between adjacent first interconnections.

A vehicular rearview mirror assembly includes an electrochromic reflective element having front and rear glass substrates with an electrochromic medium disposed therebetween. The front glass substrate includes a specularly reflective perimeter layer at least partially around a perimeter border region of the rear side of the front glass substrate. At least one light source is disposed behind the perimeter layer. With the vehicular rearview mirror assembly mounted at the vehicle and when the at least one light source is electrically powered, the at least one light source emits light that passes through the perimeter border region of the second side of the front glass substrate and that is visible to a viewer viewing the first side of the front glass substrate of the electrochromic reflective element at the perimeter layer.
