• Subjects: DEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS, THE OPTICAL OPERATION OF WHICH ISMODIFIED BY CHANGING THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MEDIUM OF THEDEVICES OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CONTROL OF THE INTENSITY,COLOUR, PHASE, POLARISATION OR DIRECTION OF LIGHT, e.g.SWITCHING, GATING, MODULATING OR DEMODULATING; FREQUENCY-CHANGING; NON-LINEAR OPTICS; OPTICAL ANALOGUE/DIGITAL CONVERTERS; OPTICAL LOGIC ELEMENTS; OPTICS; PHYSICS; TECHNIQUES OR PROCEDURES FOR THE OPERATION THEREOF

Disclosed are interdigitated electrode assemblies and liquid crystal devices and windows including such assemblies, wherein the interdigitated electrode assembly comprises: a substrate; a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes, wherein the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes are interdigitated; at least one first insulator which overlays at least a portion of the plurality of second electrodes; and a first bus bar which overlays the at least one first insulator and does not electrically contact the plurality of second electrodes. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing interdigitated electrode assemblies and liquid crystal devices and windows including those assemblies.
