SPD-SmartGlass Automotive Windows offer Comfort, Efficiency, Safety and Security Benefits





Las Vegas, NV – January 7, 2016.



Research Frontiers (Nasdaq: REFR) confirmed today that Continental Corporation, one of the world’s top five automotive suppliers, is showcasing its “Intelligent Glass Control” system on a demonstration vehicle at a special event at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 6-9, 2016. This vehicle, a Ford Mondeo station wagon, uses Research Frontiers’ patented SPD-SmartGlass technology to enable the glass in all eleven side and rear windows and in the top s unvisor portion of the windshield to change its transparency and darken instantly through electric control signals. This increases passenger comfort, energy efficiency, safety and security.

Joseph M. Harary, President and CEO of Research Frontiers, the company which invented SPD-SmartGlass technology and has licensed it throughout the world for use in the automotive, aircraft, architectural, marine and museum industries noted: “Here at CES we are seeing a heightened presence of smart homes, and now with Continental’s Intelligent Glass Control system, truly smart vehicles using SPD-SmartGlass.”



Continental indicated that

its Intelligent Glass Control system increases passenger comfort and lowers CO2

emissions by keeping the interior of the vehicle cooler. As a result, smaller,

more efficient and lighter air conditioning units could be used. Calculations

showed a reduction in CO2 emissions of four grams per kilometer. Continental

also estimates that their Intelligent Glass Control system can increase the

driving range of electric vehicles by 5.5%. When compared to conventional

automotive glass, Mercedes-Benz reported that the use of SPD-SmartGlass

significantly reduces the temperature inside the vehicle by up to 18ºF/10ºC.





Continental also

highlighted the safety benefits of its Intelligent Glass Control system in

typical driving situations such as when the sun is low on the horizon. Normally

the driver's hand instinctively goes from the steering wheel to the sun visor,

resulting in both impaired visibility and a brief decrease in control of the

vehicle. Continentals Intelligent Glass Control system can detect this in

advance and darken the car windows automatically before the event even occurs.





Continentals Intelligent

Glass Control system also enhances security and privacy. For example, when the

vehicle is parked, the windows darken automatically so the inside of the vehicle

cannot be seen from the outside. This also protects the interior of vehicles and

their occupants from heat, light and UV radiation.



Continental noted that up

until now, this kind of variable tinting technology has only been available in

the roof area of high-end cars, such as Mercedes-Benzs Magic Sky Control system

offered on the SLK and SL roadsters, the S-Class Coupe, the Maybach, and most

recently the popular S-Class sedan. Now, Continental says it is ready to be used

on all windows in a vehicle.
