Disclosed are a display panel and display apparatus. The display panel is divided into a display region and a peripheral region. The display panel includes: a first substrate; a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate; an alignment layer at least formed in the display region; and a sealing layer connecting the first substrate to the second substrate. The display panel is provided with a conducting wire group including at least one conducting wire, and the conducting wire includes a notch. The display panel includes at least one signal line. The signal line penetrates through the notch in the conducting wire to be connected to the display region. The signal line includes a first line segment and a second line segment communicated with each other. An included angle is formed between the second line segment and the first line segment which are bent relative to each other.

A simplified switchable object and methods of making same are provided. The methods may include steps of applying a switchable material on a first surface of a first substrate, the switchable material having a thickness and a shape; applying a barrier material on the first substrate, circumferential to the switchable material; and applying a second substrate over top of, and in contact with, the switchable material and the barrier material, the first substrate, second substrate and barrier material defining a closed chamber encapsulating the switchable material. The methods may further include a step of applying a seal material.

In one aspect, a method, system, and/or computer program product is described for generating a graphical user interface for providing information and controlling optically switchable windows connected by a network. Windows are graphically represented using interactive smart objects that are placed within views of the graphical user interface in a manner corresponding to their physical location. In another aspect, a method, system, and/or computer program product is described for associating network IDs of optically switchable windows with the locations at which the windows are installed. Window locations are determined by analyzing received wireless transmissions that are sent from transmitters associated with each of the optically switchable windows. The determined locations are then compared with a representation of the building that provides the window locations. Upon comparison, the network ID of each window, which is communicated through eh window transmissions, is associated with the appropriate window location on the representation of the building.
