Abstract

An electrochromic window includes a first transparent substrate, an electroconductive film electrode, a transparent electrochromic film in contact with said electroconductive film, an ion-conductive layer in contact with said electrochromic film, a counter electrode in contact with said ion-conductive layer, and a second transparent substrate overlaying the counter electrode. A plurality of bus bars extend across the electroconductive film electrode to distribute electrical current throughout the film electrode and provide a more uniform current density between the film electrode and the counter electrode.
