WOODBURY, NY --(Marketwired - July 27, 2017) - Research Frontiers Inc. (
ONE Aviation's announcement revealed that PPG will provide EDWs that incorporate Alteos interactive window systems. The Alteos EDW utilizes the NUANCE V2 shading product by Vision Systems that uses SPD-Smart light-control technology from Research Frontiers. As noted in the announcement: "The dimmable windows will enable passengers to independently tune a window's tint from clear to dark to regulate daylight, glare and heat ingress while preserving or blocking the view. Vision Systems' latest generation product offers unprecedented optical quality while enhancing visual, thermal and acoustic comfort."

Vision Systems, a licensee of Research Frontiers, uses SPD-Smart technology in their EDW shading solutions, including their NUANCE V2 product. In a joint press release two months ago, PPG and Vision Systems announced that they reached a commercial agreement to work together on developing new applications utilizing Vision Systems' EDW solutions -- combining the considerable experience that both PPG and Vision Systems have in supplying the aircraft industry with EDW systems. ONE Aviation's selection of the Alteos interactive window system, for the Eclipse 700, represents the first announced program under the PPG and Vision Systems agreement.
EDWs using SPD-Smart technology deliver unprecedented passenger benefits. By enabling users to precisely control the amount of daylight and glare coming through windows, passengers can instantly tune the tint to a comfortable level while continuing to enjoy views, rather than blocking their view with a shade. The system delivers many other practical benefits including a cooler cabin due to remarkable thermal insulation properties, and a quieter cabin due to acoustic insulation properties.
