1. An electro-optic assembly, comprising:
- a front substrate having a first surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface;
a rear substrate spaced from and substantially parallel to the front substrate, the rear substrate having a third surface and a fourth surface substantially parallel to the third surface;
an electrical contact for providing an electrical connection to an electrode in proximity to an electro-optic material, the contact having an extension at least partially over a transmissive portion of the fourth surface in a transmissive region of the rear substrate; and
an appliqué
on at least the transmissive portion of the fourth surface, the appliqué
having a contact-obscuring region in proximity to the extension of the electrical contact,wherein the electro-optic material is disposed between the second surface and the third surface.

Abstract
An electro-optic assembly is disclosed. The assembly comprises a front substrate having a first surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface; a rear substrate spaced from and substantially parallel to the front substrate. The rear substrate comprises a third surface and a fourth surface substantially parallel to the third surface. The assembly further comprises an electrical contact for providing an electrical connection to an electrode in proximity to an electro-optic material and an appliqué layer. The appliqué layer is on at least a portion of the fourth surface and forms a contact-obscuring.
