Electrical connections for electro-optic elements

An electro-optic element of a display of a vehicle, comprising:

• a first substantially transparent substrate defining a first surface and a second surface, wherein a first edge extends around the first substrate;
• a second substantially transparent substrate defining a third surface and a fourth surface, wherein a second edge extends around the second substrate;
• a primary seal disposed between the first and second substrates, the seal and the first and second substrates defining a cavity therebetween;
• a first electrically conductive layer positioned on the second surface;
• a second electrically conductive layer positioned on the third surface;
• a dual coated film positioned between the first and second electrically conductive layers and comprising a polymeric film having an insulator layer configured to electrically isolate the first and second electrically conductive layers and first and second conductive coatings positioned on opposite sides of the insulator layer, wherein the first and second conductive coatings are configured to contact the first and second electrically conductive layers;
• and
• an electro-optic material positioned within the cavity.
