Patent ID: 7586664

Claim:
An article comprising; a first electrode assembly having an electrode defined as a first electrode; a second electrode assembly having an electrode defined as a second electrode with the first and second electrodes in facing relationship to one another; a medium between the first and second electrodes, the medium in response to electric stimuli alters percent of visible light transmitted through the medium; the first electrode assembly having a first major surface facing the medium with the first electrode between the first major surface and the medium, the first electrode comprising: a first electrically conductive layer between the medium and the first major surface; a second electrically conductive layer spaced from the first electrically conductive layer and between the first electrically conductive layer and the medium; first and second electrical contact members spaced from one another and contacting the first electrically conductive layer, wherein the first and second electrical contact members and the first electrically conductive layer provide a first electrically conductive path, and a third electrical contact member contacting the second electrically conductive layer, and a fourth electrical contact member contacting the second electrode, wherein the third and fourth electrical contact members, the second electrically conductive layer, the medium and the second electrode provide a second electrically conductive path.
