Filed:

Oct 11, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/964006

Inventors:

- Eden Prairie MN, US
Eric Bjergaard - Minneapolis MN, US
Timothy Braun - Plymouth MN, US
Andrew DeMiglio - Savage MN, US
Chad Peters - Prior Lake MN, US

International Classification:

G02F 1/1333
E06B 9/24
B32B 17/10
E06B 3/67
G02F 1/1343
G02F 1/153

Abstract:

A privacy glazing structure may include an electrically controllable optically active material that provides controlled transition between a privacy or scattering state and a visible or transmittance state. To make electrical connections with electrode layers that control the optically active material, the privacy glazing structure may include electrode engagement regions. In some examples, the electrode engagement regions are formed as notches in peripheral edges of opposed panes bounding the optically active material. The notches may or may not overlap to provide a through conduit in the region of overlap for wiring. In either case, the notches may allow the remainder of the structure to have a flush edge surface for ease of downstream processing.
