"Suspended particle device to be the leading smart glass technology"

Suspended particle device (SPD) technology is expected to dominate the automotive smart glass market. Market growth can be attributed to the advantages offered by SPD glass, such as regulating the amount of heat and light entering a vehicle, providing 99% protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, enhancing safety, and controlling the cabin temperature (thereby reducing the consumption of the air conditioning unit). The key application of SPD technology is in the sunroofs of passenger cars. Advanced sunroof technology, such as WONDERLITE glass roof, MAGIC SKY CONTROL, and panoramic roofs, has been employed in high-end luxury models.
