The present invention is a window pane assembly system and method utilizing locking a locking system for easy insertion of a second window pane and an electro kinetic strip or film on these window panes. These electrokinetic strips and films have the capability to do many things on the window panes like changing the opacity of the windows and allowing certain levels of light through the window. The use of this technology can create more opportunities for creating advertisements on window surfaces, storing energy or repelling solar energy for building temperature management and energy savings. The electrokinetic film can be used with a remodel of window panes or the electrokinetic strips and films can be built into new window panes. With the ability of the electrokinetic devices to allow certain levels of light in, there is the opportunity for many more technological advancements on the window panes. The electrokinetic film may incorporate a matrix of densely packed apertures with scalable shutters, to attenuate light transmission through the window pane assembly.

A light-transmissive substrate having an inner surface, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, and a plurality of through holes. When coupled with a light-transmissive conductive material; such as indium tin oxide (ITO), the substrate provides electrical connections between a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer, which may be used as a top electrode in an electro-optic display, and contact spots on the outer surface of the light-transmissive substrate. Accordingly, the light-transmissive substrate allows for simpler electrical connections for electro-optic displays, especially for large format devices that may need to be cut or assembled in the field. Additionally, the redundancy of having tens to hundreds of electrical contacts minimizes the chance that a device will be rendered inoperable due to a broken electrical connection.
