SMART GLASS
Research Frontiers' SPD-SmartGlass film uses suspended particle devices to regulate light, glare, and heat passage through windows, doors, and skylights. Microscopic particles permit less than 1 percent of visible light to pass through when no electrical voltage is present. As voltage is applied, the particles align and reduce the tint level. Product blocks more than 99 percent of ultraviolet light, can help reduce heating and cooling loads, and offers
dramatic daylighting and view preservation benefits.
