Smart Glass
Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology is a “switchable” light-control technology that has numerous performance and cost advantages over other technologies. SPD-Smart products allow you to instantly and precisely control how clear or dark glass or plastic is, and to easily adjust the light transmission of the product manually or automatically. This is made possible by a thin, flexible SPD film invented by Research Frontiers.
Available as a film or already incorporated into glass, SPD film can be easily adapted to a variety of products that people use every day, such as architectural windows, automotive windows, sunglasses, display screens for laptop computers, cellular telephones, instrument panels, electronic games and point-of-purchase and advertising displays, billboards and road signs.

Is SPD available now?
SPD has been "almost ready" for at least ten years, yet somwhow never available. Almost every company that claimed to be selling SPD glass has switched to ElectroChromic (EC) glass. EC has prevailed over SPD in automobile mirrors, airplane windows, and architectural uses.
