Claim:
1. An electro-optic device, comprising: a substructure; a layer of nanowires deposited on said substructure so as to form a network of nanowires having electrically connected junctions at overlapping nanowire portions and defining spaces void of said nanowires; and a plurality of electrically conducting and optically transparent nanoparticles disposed to at least partially fill a plurality of said spaces to provide additional electrically conducting pathways for said network of nanowires across said spaces, wherein said network of nanowires and said plurality of electrically conducting and optically transparent nanoparticles form at least a portion of an optically transparent electrode of said electro-optic device, wherein said substructure further comprises a layer of electrically conducting and optically transparent nanoparticles, and wherein said layer of nanowires are deposited on said layer of electrically conducting and optically transparent nanoparticles.
