A non-light-emitting variable transmission device can include an active stack; a transparent conductive layer overlying the active stack; an antireflective layer overlying the transparent conductive layer and defining a hole; and a bus bar comprising a conductive tape that extends into the hole and contacts the transparent conductive layer. Proper selection of materials and design of a bus bar can allow an electrical connection to be made to the transparent conductive layer without the need to cut an underlying transparent conductive layer. A method of forming the non-light-emitting variable transmission device can include patterning the antireflective layer to define the hole that extends to the transparent conductive layer. Improved control in patterning allows the antireflective layer to be relatively thin and not remove too much of the underlying transparent conductive layer.

A laminate can include a first panel and including a first transparent substrate having a first refractive index. The laminate can further include a second panel and a third panel, each coupled to the first panel. The second panel includes a second transparent substrate having a second refractive index, and the third panel includes a third transparent substrate having a third refractive index. The laminate can further include a fill material disposed within a gap between the second and third panels and having a fill material refractive index. The fill material refractive index is within 0.09 of the second refractive index, the third refractive index, or a value between the second and third refractive indices. Coupling may be direct or may be achieved with an adhesive film. The fill material can help to reduce the likelihood of seeing seams between the second and third panels.
