Abstract
A window assembly comprises a plurality of dynamic electrochromic zones formed on a single transparent substrate in which at least two electrochromic zones are independently controllable. In one exemplary embodiment, the window assembly comprises an Insulated Glass Unit (IGU), and at least one transparent substrate comprises a lite. In another exemplary embodiment, the IGU comprises at least two lites in which at least one lite comprises a plurality of independently controllable dynamic zones.

1-19. (canceled)
A method of independently controlling a multi-zone electrochromic window comprising a first electrochromic zone and a second electrochromic zone, both on a single window pane, the method comprising:
- (a) applying a first control voltage to the first electrochromic zone to thereby control the first electrochromic zone's transmittance;
- and
- (b) independently of (a), applying a second control voltage to the second electrochromic zone to thereby control the second electrochromic zone's transmittance.
