Mr. Hararys keynote presentation will also focus on how SPD-SmartGlass, the worlds best-selling smart window technology, is being deployed in the architectural, automotive, aircraft, marine and museum industries.
Joseph M. Harary President and CEO of Research Frontiers noted: I am honored to be asked by IDTechEx to make the keynote presentation on smart glass and to share the stage with other smart window technology developers Sage, View, and Merck. There is a clear difference in the performance characteristics of different smart glass technologies such as Suspended Particle Device (SPD), electrochromic, and liquid crystal technologies. Attendees at this conference will learn about all of these technologies and why SPD-SmartGlass has become the best-selling smart window technology in the world with tens of thousands of customers currently enjoying the benefits of SPD products around the world.
This sixth annual IDTechEx event provides insight into energy harvesting technologies, case studies and markets, ranging from consumer electronics and sensors all the way to vehicles, building and industrial automation.
