Devices and systems for substrates including transparent conducting layers for sending and/or receiving signals, increasing a temperature of the substrate, and/or changing an optical transmission of an electrochromic layer during operation are provided. Devices comprise a substrate transparent at optical wavelengths; a dimming layer; and an electrically-conducting stack, comprising; a first layer comprising a mesh of a first electrically-conducting material; and a second layer comprising a continuous layer of a second electrically-conducting material. L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des systèmes pour des substrats comprenant des couches conductrices transparentes pour envoyer et/ou recevoir des signaux, augmenter une température du substrat, et/ou changer une transmission optique d'une couche électrochromique pendant le fonctionnement. Les dispositifs comprennent un substrat transparent à des longueurs d'ondes optiques; une couche de gradation; et un empilement électroconducteur comprenant : une première couche comprenant un treillis d'un premier matériau électroconducteur; et une seconde couche comprenant une couche continue d'un second matériau électroconducteur.
