Claims19
A system comprising:
- a support structure;
- and
- a lens mounted to the support structure, the lens comprising a conductive layer with a metal mesh formed into a non-periodic grid.
The system of claim 1, wherein the conductive layer comprises an active dimming layer configured to actively dim incoming light. 10 The system of claim 9, wherein the conductive layer comprises a plurality of sublayers, the plurality of sublayers comprising a metal mesh sublayer comprising the metal mesh, an electrochromic sublayer, and a protective conductive sublayer positioned between the metal mesh sublayer and the electrochromic sublayer.
The system of claim 10, wherein the protective conductive sublayer comprises indium tin oxide (ITO).
An electronic display comprising:
- a transparent substrate;
- and
- a conductive layer, coupled to the transparent substrate comprising a metal mesh in the form of a non-periodic grid.
A method of manufacturing comprising:
- dimensioning one or more cells of a metal mesh to form a non-periodic grid;
- and
- coupling the metal mesh to a transparent substrate.
