SUNPARTNER TECHNOLOGIES offers PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS solutions that s styled for vehicle interiors and targeted to deliver energy efficiency and powering vehicle features in key off conditions and reducing battery drain.
Key Features for Smart Glass
- Glazing powers its own electronic dimming system.
- Generate their own power to offsets energy consumption.
- Windows capture light during the day and emit it at night.
- Powers electronic opening and locking systems.
- Generates the electricity needed to operate the system
- Provides power for any other applications requiring electricity.
- Automakers could earn green credits for adding solar roofs to cars.
For self-dimming aircraft window developed by their partner Vision Systems, incorporates Vision-Glass to power an SPD (suspended particle device) film.
With this SPD film, the window can be instantly dimmed to reduce the amount of light, glare, and heat entering the aircraft. This standalone wireless solution is completely independent of the aircraft’s electrical system
WYSIPS Crystal is adaptation of the technology for use with emissive displays, amorphous silicon photovoltaic cells are incorporated into the window offering an ultra-thin (< 0.58mm) and semi-transparent surface that can absorb light from both the sun and also the screen below.
To achieve this Sunpartner uses lenticular imaging, a technique commonly encountered in some modern 3D displays, which enables the viewer to see different images depending on their viewing angle.
By exploiting this optical effect, the firm was able to hide the photovoltaic cells from view at most angles, offering up to 85% transmission through the surface.
The technique is able to provide a peak power output of 4mW per square centimeter and should be viewed more as an additional power supplement.
