Research Frontiers President and CEO Joseph Harary to Present the Real World Benefits of SPD-SmartGlass at Next Week’s CTI ...
November 07 2018 - 8:30AM
The world’s automakers and their glass suppliers will meet next
week in San Sebastian, Spain for the 12th International CTI
Conference – Automotive Glazing Europe. This is the largest
conference on automotive glazing in Europe. On November 15,
Research Frontiers CEO Joseph Harary will be a featured speaker,
giving a presentation on “Improving the passenger experience and
improving performance in electric, autonomous and other vehicles
using dynamic glass technology.”
Research Frontiers SPD-SmartGlass is the dynamic
glass technology that can be found on numerous car models from
Daimler. The MAGIC SKY CONTROL feature, which is now in use on tens
of thousands of Mercedes-Benz cars (including their flagship
S-Class), uses SPD-SmartGlass technology to turn the roof glass
transparent by electrically aligning tiny nanoparticles in a thin
film within the glass. With the touch of a button, drivers and
passengers can instantly change the tint of their roof to help keep
out harsh sunlight and heat, and create an open-air feeling even
when the sunroof is closed.
Mr. Harary’s address will focus on topics
including how SPD-SmartGlass has been used in the automotive
industry to:
- Improve the passenger experience in vehicles through the
intelligent use of dynamic glass.
- Increase the driving range of electric vehicles by up to
5.5%.
- Reduce CO2 emissions by up to 4 grams/kilometer in internal
combustion engine vehicles.
- Increase the use of glass on vehicles without bringing inside
the vehicle unwanted heat (by up to a 18ºF/10ºC reduction), light,
glare, harmful UV radiation and noise.
- Improve the comfort, security and safety of
occupants.
- Benefit autonomously driven cars and their occupants.
