Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a structure including a nanostructure layer (which includes a plurality of transparent conductors) and a coating layer formed on a surface thereof. In some embodiments, the coating includes one or more conductive plugs having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the plug is in electrical communication with the nanostructure layer and the outer surface forms a conductive surface contact immediately adjacent to the outer surface of the coating. In some embodiments, the structure includes a polarizer and is used as a shielding layer in a flat electrochromic display (such as a liquid crystal display, a touch panel, and the like). |
