   My understanding is it is analogical to self dimming glass,   
   or to a film silver halide latent process.   
      
   The light releases free electrons from sulphide   
   and creates metallic silver.   
      
   In case of film, free halogens are captured by auxiliary organics.   
      
   In case of glass,   
   there is running reverting silver halogene recombination.
