Smart glass provides a clearer view

Computer-controlled "smart" components are spreading rapidly in the modern automotive industry, and the auto-adjustable window glass may be the next.

In January next year, Continental AG plans to showcase a new membrane design. This film can be sandwiched between glass layers and then electronically controlled to adjust the transparency of the window. Specifically, when a voltage is applied to the film, the particles in the material form a structure that can withstand sunlight.

Andreas Wolf, chairman of Continental's Body & Security business unit, said in a statement that the technology can be used in automotive window glass, and that the owner can adjust the transparency of the window through buttons or smartphones.

He said that this technology can improve the safety of drivers. This is because the dark stripes above the windshield can prevent direct sunlight from entering the driver's eyes when the sun is low in the morning or in the evening, but at the same time ensure the integrity of the driver's view. At present, the visor used in the vehicle can also protect the driver's eyes from direct sunlight, but at the same time cover some road conditions.

In fact, this kind of window that can adjust the brightness and darkness has been on the market for several years, but almost only appeared in the skylight of luxury models.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show (International CES Exhibition) in January next year, the mainland will exhibit a "suspended particle film" technology, which covers both sides of the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle. window. This technology can also be used in the front windshield of the vehicle, but due to legal requirements, the application of this film on the front windshield can only be limited to the area covered by the sun visor in the past.

Wolf said that this technology is ready for mass production. Continental acknowledges that this technology is costly for mid-priced cars, but further R&D is likely to further reduce costs.

In addition, automatic adjustment of the window can also reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle. This is because the film can reduce the amount of solar radiation injected into the vehicle, thereby reducing the load on the air conditioner.
