Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to heat treatable painted glass substrates that have less than 11 wt. % (more preferably 5.40 wt. %, and still more preferably 5-9 wt. %) organic content in an as-deposited state, and/or methods of making the same. The paint preferably is curable at a temperature less than 300 degrees C. over a relatively short amount of time (e.g., less than 10-15 minutes), and the cured coated article may be stored for lengthy periods of time before being further processed. In certain example embodiments, the coated article undergoes a significant color change upon heat treatment

A controllable privacy structure, such as a window or door, may include an electrically controllable optically active material connected to a driver. The driver can control the application and/or removal of electrical energy to the optically active material to transition from a scattering state in which visibility through the structure is inhibited to a transparent state in which visibility through the structure is comparatively clear. The driver may need to be located in relatively close physical proximity to the privacy structure the driver is intended to control. Devices, systems, and techniques are described for discretely positioning a driver relative to a privacy structure to be controlled.
