Patent number: 11960189Abstract: This disclosure provides spacers for smart windows. In one aspect, a window assembly includes a first substantially transparent substrate having an optically switchable device on a surface of the first substrate. The optically switchable device includes electrodes. A first electrode of the electrodes has a length about the length of a side of the optically switchable device. The window assembly further includes a second substantially transparent substrate a metal spacer between the first and the second substrates. The metal spacer has a substantially rectangular cross section, with one side of the metal spacer including a recess configured to accommodate the length of the first electrode such that there is no contact between the first electrode and the metal spacer. A primary seal material bonds the first substrate to the metal spacer and bonds the second substrate to the metal spacer.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: View, Inc.Inventors: Yashraj Bhatnagar, Trevor Frank, Fabian Strong, Sridhar Karthik Kailasam, Robert Babcock, Ronald M. Parker, Robert T. Rozbicki

Publication number: 20240082949Abstract: Thin-film devices, for example electrochromic devices for windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. Particular focus is given to methods of patterning optical devices. Various edge deletion and isolation scribes are performed, for example, to ensure the optical device has appropriate isolation from any edge defects. Methods described herein apply to any thin-film device having one or more material layers sandwiched between two thin film electrical conductor layers. The described methods create novel optical device configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: View, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Anant Dixit, Todd William Martin, Anshu A. Pradhan, Fabian Strong, Robert T. Rozbicki

Patent number: 11703814Abstract: Optically controllable windows and an associated window control system provide a building security platform. A window controller or other processing device can monitor for window breakage, cameras associated with windows can monitor for intruders, and transparent displays can provide alerts regarding detected activity within a building. A window control system can detect deviations from expected I/V characteristics of an optically controllable window during normal operation of the window (tint transitions, steady state conditions, etc.) and/or during application of a security-related perturbing event, and provide alerts upon their occurrence.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: View, Inc.Inventors: Dhairya Shrivastava, Stephen Clark Brown, Gordon E. Jack, Horop Puth, Illayathambi Kunadian, Oner Bicakci, Sridhar Karthik Kailasam, Fabian Strong, Brandon Tinianov, Joseph Lunardi
