Beginning in the early 1970s, the number of research activities resulting in patenting
of technologies increased rapidly, leading to the development of advanced fabrication
processes, enhanced properties, and an increased number of applications across varied
verticals such as construction and automotive. Tints were applied to glass to reduce heat
transmission and glare, and glass coated with metal oxide films reflected heat or
conducted electricity. This marked the first application of "smart glass" in automotive.
Reflective coatings, low emissivity glass, and gas-filled cavities have all been
components of energy-efficient windows since decades but with the commercialization of
smart glass technologies such as Electrochromic (EC) and Suspended Particle Display (SPD)
among others, there is an increasing adoption of smart glass in both - residential and
commercial construction. Smart glass is an essential product to add 'green' factor to the
building. Smart glass and smart windows helps in achieving zero-energy goals. Energy
efficiency, coupled with potential energy harvesting by incorporating PV cells in these
glasses is most likely to make it as a key element of smart and green buildings. The green
building is currently an enabler of the smart glass market
[http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/smart-glass-market-907.html ] and is most
likely to continue driving the market in long run as well.
With introduction of Electrochromic (EC) rearview mirrors widely used for its auto
dimming property and its ability to dynamically control light. Since then, the industry
has a come a long way, thanks to continued research and development in the smart glass
technology [http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/smart-glass-market-907.html ]
field. Due to the inherent properties of smart glass to reduce the heat loss and glare
control, smart glass is being used as sunroof glass in the high end automobiles such as
Mercedes-Benz SLK, Audi and BMW. The high end luxury car is witnessing significant
adoption of smart glasses not only as sunroof but also as side windows owing to its
ability to control glare, provide shading while preserving views, and improving indoor air
quality.
