Pioneering Technology of Suspended Particle Devices (SPD - smart glass™) The glass switches from transparent to colored mode almost instantly (less than one second).
This technology is the result of a decade of development of suspended particle film formulation as well as the film manufacturing technology. This film can be laminated into a wide variety of glass or plastic sheets, creating smart products’ with adjustable levels of transparency. SPD-SmartGlass is the world's fastest-switching variably tintable dynamic glazing technology. It is the only dimmable window technology that gives users the ability to instantly and precisely control the level of shading to any point between very dark and clear. This provides exceptional control over solar energy while also adding to user comfort and protecting interiors. Available in both glass and lightweight polycarbonate substrates, SPD-Smart TM products – windows, skylights, doors, partitions, sunroofs and more – are laminated glazings that offer a distinctive combination of sustainability and security, can be controlled manually or automatically, and are available in custom sizes and fabrications for new construction, replacement and retrofit projects. SPD Structure Advantages- SPD - smart glass has made possible reduction of building's air-conditioning load from absorptive and reflective function against infrared ray.
- Nearly instantaneous control of light.
- Specific control over the exact amount of light transmitted
- Improvement in users’ comfort and privacy.
- Wide range of light transmission levels without the blocking of one’s view
- Greater security.
- It can cut of 99% of ultraviolet (rays), it prevents discoloration of furniture in the interior and also protects against skin cancer.
- Energy savings.
- Exceptional optical qualities.
- Saving of installation costs (HVAC).
- Elimination of the need for expensive window dressings like drapes, blinds and shades that are used in architectural applications.
- Cost-effectiveness relative to either custom shades or other smart window technologies.
- Durability.
