A rear-view mirror arrangement for a motor vehicle, having a housing to hold a mirror assembly which has a liquid-crystal cell, the reflectance of the mirror assembly being variable. The liquid-crystal cell has a transparent front-side carrier layer, a transparent rear-side carrier layer and, an electrically actuable liquid-crystal layer arranged between the carrier layers and held in a sealed-off fashion by way of a seal frame. A permanently clear optical image is produced for the vehicle occupant as a user, and the mirror arrangement has a low weight and is inexpensive to produce. This is achieved in that the housing is of unipartite form and permits frameless retention of the mirror assembly, and a housing gap between the housing element and the mirror assembly into which is fitted a seal for the sealed retention of the mirror assembly in the housing.
