1. An optical device having at least one interconnection tab, comprising:

  • a pair of opposed substrates having a gap therebetween filled with an electro-optic material, each said substrate having a facing surface with a substrate electrode covered by an alignment layer disposed thereon;

    a sealing material disposed between said pair of opposed substrates to contain said electro-optic material; and

    at least one interconnection tab interposed between said substrates and used for connecting the substrate electrodes to a control circuit, said interconnection tab comprising;

    an insulator layer having opposed surfaces, each insulator surface comprisinga tab electrode in electrical connection with the substrate electrode facing said tab electrode, and a pad electrode in electrical connection with the substrate electrode facing the opposed surface of the insulator layerwherein said electrical connection between said tab and pad electrodes and said substrates is made by contact with the alignment layer on each substrate.
