A method for displaying a rearward image of a vehicle includes varying reflectivity of an electro-optic layer for incident light to transmit a portion of the incident light and to reflect another portion of the incident light; displaying on a display at least the portion of the rearward image; and switching the electro-optic layer between a first posture and a second posture. When the electro-optic layer is in the first posture, at least the portion of the rearward image is displayed, and when in the second posture, the reflectivity of the electro-optic layer for the incident light varies between at least two values based on at least one of a first illuminance or a second illuminance. The first illuminance indicates brightness around the vehicle and the second illuminance indicates intensity of light emitted on a front surface of the electro-optic layer.
