Abstract:
1. A insulated glass unit comprising: a first substantially transparent substrate having an optically switchable device disposed on a surface of the first substantially transparent substrate, the optically switchable device comprising electrodes, a first electrode of the electrodes having a length about the length of a side of the optically switchable device; a second substantially transparent substrate; a metal spacer between the first and the second substantially transparent substrates, the metal spacer having a substantially rectangular cross section, wherein at least one external face of the metal spacer is coated with an electrically insulating coating that prevents electrical communication between the metal spacer and the first electrode; and a primary seal material bonding the first substantially transparent substrate to the metal spacer and bonding the second substantially transparent substrate to the metal spacer.
