Abstract:
An electrochromic device comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate spaced apart and joined by a seal to form a sealed chamber between inner surfaces of said substrates, said substrates being positioned to have at least a first edge aligned with the first edge of the other substrate; a first electrode disposed on the inner surface of said first substrate; a second electrode disposed on the inner surface of said second substrate, said first and second electrodes being electrically isolated from one another; an electrochromic medium disposed within said sealed chamber; a first electrical connector clip electrically coupled to said first electrode and physically coupled to said first substrate along at least the first edge thereof; and a second electrical connector clip electrically coupled to said second electrode and physically coupled to said second substrate along at least the first edge thereof, wherein said first and second electrical connector clips include a plurality of spaced-apart fingers that respectively contact said first and second electrodes, the fingers of one connector clip being spaced apart from one another by a distance greater than the width of the fingers of the other connector clip such that the fingers of said both the connector clips intermesh without physically contacting the fingers of the other connector clip.
