Abstract: An electrochromic device is structured to selectively heat one or more particular regions of a conductive layer of the electrochromic device. An electrical potential difference can be induced across the conductive layer to heat one or more layer regions. The conductive layer can be one of at least two conductive layers on opposite sides of an electrochromic film stack, and an electrical potential difference can be induced between the conductive layers to cause at least some of the electrochromic film stack to change transmission levels. The conductive layer can include regions with different sheet resistances, so that one or more regions are structured to generate more heat than other regions of the conductive layer when an electrical potential difference is induced across the conductive layer. Separate layer regions can include separate chemical species. The conductive layer can be geometrically structured so that some layer regions have a greater sheet resistance than other regions.

Abstract translation: 电致变色器件构造成选择性地加热电致变色器件的导电层的一个或多个特定区域。 可以在导电层上诱导电位差以加热一个或多个层区域。 导电层可以是在电致变色膜堆叠的相对侧上的至少两个导电层中的一个，并且可以在导电层之间引起电势差，以使至少一些电致变色膜堆叠改变透射电平。 导电层可以包括具有不同薄层电阻的区域，使得当跨越导电层诱导电势差时，一个或多个区域被构造为产生比导电层的其它区域更多的热量。 单独的层区域可以包括单独的化学物质。 导电层可以是几何构造的，使得一些层区域具有比其它区域更大的薄层电阻。

Abstract: An electrochromic device is structured to restrict moisture permeation between an electrochromic stack in the device and an external environment. The electrochromic device includes conductive layers and one or more encapsulation layers, where the encapsulation layers and conductive layers collectively isolate the electrochromic stack from the ambient environment. The encapsulation layers resist moisture permeation, and at least the outer portions of the conductive layers resist moisture permeation. The moisture-resistant electrochromic device can be fabricated based at least in part upon selective removal of one or more outer portions of at least the EC stack, so that at least the encapsulation layer extends over one or more edge portions of the EC stack to isolate the edge portions of the EC stack from the ambient environment. The encapsulation layer can include one or more of an anti-reflective layer, infrared cut-off filter, etc.
