An embodiment of a transparent conducting electrode includes a first non-conductive layer formed from a first non-conductive material, a conductive layer, and a second non-conductive layer formed from a second non-conductive material that is different from the first non-conductive material. One or more of the transparent conducting electrodes may be incorporated into electronic devices such as solar cells, light emitting diodes, electrochromic devices, liquid crystal displays, and other devices.
