The patent application (Publication Number: US20240025805A1) describes a method for fabricating an electrochromic device with an electrochromic stack between two transparent conductor layers. The method involves depositing a protective film over the substrate's exposed surface and subsequently removing it. The protective film can be made of materials such as low density polyethylene, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, or polyethylene naphthalate. The protective film can be applied with or without an adhesive composition, and the removal process involves peeling it off from the electrochromic stack.

Furthermore, the method includes additional steps such as polishing and washing the substrate before applying the protective film. The protective film can be formed on either the first or second transparent conductor layer, and bus bars can be formed on these layers as well. The process also involves passing the protective film through heated rollers and applying pressure to ensure proper adhesion. Overall, the method outlined in the patent application provides a detailed and systematic approach to fabricating electrochromic devices, ensuring the protection and integrity of the components involved in the process.
