PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electro-optic devices, more particularly, to provide electrochromic devices used in architectural windows or vehicle rearview mirrors. SOLUTION: To allow the electrochromic device to have little or no offset between its front and rear elements, an electrical conductor may be provided to electrically couple a portion of a first conductive layer provided on the rear surface of the front element with a portion of a second conductive layer provided on the front surface of the rear element. The electrical conductor may be in the form of a conductive portion of a seal. To prevent shorting across an electrochromic medium, at least one of the first and second conductive layers is separated into a first portion and a second portion that is electrically isolated from the first portion, and is in electrical contact with electrochromic material. An elastomeric bezel may be utilized. Also, an edge seal may optionally be employed so as to reduce the need or width of the bezel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
