Market Dynamics

Increasing global population and a subsequent spike in vehicle-owning households raised the demand for comfortable ride features, such as sunroofs. Stringent emission regulations, ban on tinted glasses in countries, like India, limited durability of window blinds, increasing emphasis over interiors to improve the comfort, as well as aesthetics of the vehicle are some of the significant factors that are driving the market for automotive smart glass towards growth.

Technologies in Use

Suspended particle device (SPD), Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC), and electrochromics are some of the technologies currently in use for manufacturing of automotive smart glass. Hitachi Chemical has developed an SPD Film “LCF -1103DHA” through a license agreement with Research Frontiers Inc. This product from Hitachi allows the users to quickly control the amount of light, glare, and heat passing through the window. Smart Glass International developed the blackout smart glass that offers higher than 99.4% visible light block and 100% UV protection. Glass Apps is working on a smart glass that is a laminated glass constituting PDLC film and allows the user to change the visual appearance of the glass from opaque to clear, on command.
