Patent ID: 8493646

Claim:
An electrochromic device comprising: a first electrochromic region and a second electrochromic region, each of the first and second electrochromic regions including: a) a first electrode comprising one of a cathodic electrochromic layer or an anodic counter electrode layer; b) a second electrode comprising the other of said cathodic electrochromic layer or said anodic counter electrode layer; c) an ion conductor layer for conducting ions between said first and second electrodes; d) a first isolated conductive layer region; and e) a second isolated conductive layer region; wherein the first and second electrodes and said ion-conductor layer are sandwiched between said first and second isolated conductive layer regions; and a plurality of conductive links, the conductive links including a plurality of the links arranged in a first configuration, dividing the electrochromic device into the first and second electrochromic regions and extending through the first and second electrodes and the ion conductor layer and interconnecting at least a portion of one of the first and second isolated conductive layer regions associated with the first electrochromic region with at least a portion of one of the first and second isolated conductive layer regions associated with the second electrochromic region.
