Abstract:
An electrochromic window assembly comprising:a first transparent substrate including a first conductive coating on a surface thereof; a second transparent substrate including a second conductive coating on a surface thereof, said first transparent substrate and said second transparent substrate being spaced from each other to define a chamber therebetween; an electrochromic medium contained in said chamber, said electrochromic medium having a luminous transmittance that varies upon application of an electrical potential through said electrochromic medium; a plurality of first spaced facilities contacting said first conductive coating and capable of delivering electrical current to said first conductive coating; a plurality of second spaced facilities contacting said second conductive coating and capable of delivering electrical current to said second conductive coating to establish said electrical potential through said electrochromic medium; a first plurality of connectors, each one of the first plurality of connectors being individually and separately connected to at least a corresponding one of the plurality of first spaced facilities to deliver electrical current to the at least corresponding one of the plurality of first spaced facilities; and a second plurality of connectors, each one of the second plurality of connectors being individually and separately connected to at least a corresponding one of the plurality of second spaced facilities to deliver electrical current to the at least corresponding one of the plurality of second spaced facilities.
