Abstract: An electro-optic element of a display of a vehicle includes a first substantially transparent substrate defining a first surface and a second surface. A first edge extends around the first substrate. A second substantially transparent substrate defines a third surface and a fourth surface. A second edge extends around the second substrate. A primary seal is disposed between the first and second substrates. The seal and the first and second substrates define a cavity therebetween. First and second electrical buses are positioned on the first edge and the second edge, respectively. A dual coated film is positioned between the first and second electrical buses. An electro-optic material is positioned within the cavity.

Abstract: An electro-optic assembly for use in a vehicle having a windshield is provided and includes a first arcuate substrate having a first surface with an anti-reflective coating and a second surface. A second arcuate substrate includes a third surface and a fourth surface with an anti-reflective coating. The first and second substrates are positioned such that the second and third surfaces are at least 0.1 mm apart. A seal is disposed between the first and second substrates and located substantially about a periphery of the electro-optic assembly. An electro-optic medium is positioned in a cavity defined by the first substrate, the second substrate, and the seal, the electro-optic medium including a refractive index greater than 1.2. The second surface is configured to receive and reflect incident light projected from a projector, thereby displaying information that appears to be displayed forward of the windshield.

Abstract: An electro-optic assembly includes a front substrate that has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A second substrate has a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The second and third surfaces face each other to define a gap with a cell spacing. A first electrode is coupled to the second surface, and a second electrode is coupled to the third surface. An electro-optic medium is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. A conductor assembly is electrically coupled to the first electrode and defines at least one space containing a first conductive intermediary. A seal retains the electro-optic medium in the gap.

Abstract: An electro-optic element having a groove is disclosed herein. The electro-optic element may include first and second substrates, first and second electrodes, an electro-optic medium, and first and second electrical buses. The first substrate may have a first surface, a second surface, and a first peripheral edge. The second substrate may be substantially parallel to the first substrate and have a third surface, a fourth surface, and a second peripheral edge. The groove is defined by a first and/or second substantially flat groove surfaces. The first groove extends between the second surface and the first peripheral edge or the first surface at a non-orthogonal angle. The second groove surface extends between the third surface and the second peripheral edge or the fourth surface at a non-orthogonal angle. The first and second electrical buses are disposed in the groove and are electrically connected to the first and second electrodes, respectively.
