  • Publication number: 20240003840
    Abstract: A method implemented by a system for manufacturing a device having a coated transparent substrate is provided. The method includes providing the device having a transparent substrate. The method also includes coating the transparent substrate with a first transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer in accordance with one or more parameters. The coating the transparent substrate comprises performing a physical deposition process on the transparent substrate. The method further includes determining a resistance across the first TCO layer. In addition, the method includes determining whether the resistance across the first TCO layer is within a resistance range. The method also includes in response to determining that the resistance across the first TCO layer is within the resistance range, coating the device with a second TCO layer in accordance with the one or more parameters to provide a resistance across the second TCO layer that is within the resistance range.

  • Publication number: 20230168559
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to techniques for simultaneously designing optical and electrical properties of an electrochromic device by tuning specific parameters of the electrochromic device. One or more models representing respective relationships of the optical and electrical properties with respect to the individual ones of the parameters of the device may be obtained. Given specific values of the optical and/or electrical properties, at least one of the parameters may be adjusted to simultaneously control the optical and electrical properties according to the given specific values.

  • Publication number: 20210231981
    Abstract: This disclose describes systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for controlling operations of an EC device with compensation for the hysteresis effect of the leakage current. A control module, coupled to the EC device, may be configured to develop a hysteresis model representing a hysteresis effect of a leakage current of the EC device, track one or more prior operating histories of the EC device, and transition the EC device to a target transmission level with compensation for the hysteresis effect of the leakage current based in part on a current transmission level, the one or more prior operating histories, and the hysteresis model of the EC device.
