Methods are provided for fabricating electrochromic devices that mitigate formation of short circuits under a top bus bar without predetermining where top bus bars will be applied on the device. Devices fabricated using such methods may be deactivated under the top bus bar, or may include active material under the top bus bar. Methods of fabricating devices with active material under a top bus bar include depositing a modified top bus bar, fabricating self-healing layers in the electrochromic device, and modifying a top transparent conductive layer of the device prior to applying bus bars.

An electronic device is disclosed herein that includes an infrared light source to emit infrared light, a rolling shutter sensor, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is to: cause the rolling shutter sensor to output a first signal corresponding to a first frame of image data during exposure to the infrared light, reset the rows of the rolling shutter sensor at a same time, cause the rolling shutter sensor to output a second signal corresponding to a second frame of image data without exposure to the infrared light from the infrared light source, determine a difference between the first signal and the second signal to generate an ambient infrared free frame, and recognize a face based on the ambient infrared free frame.
