University of Cincinnati and Industry Partners Develop Low-Cost Tunable Window Tintings

As reported by University of Cincinnati - Technology developed by the University of Cincinnati and industry partners can do something that neither blinds nor existing smart windows can do. This patent-pending research, supported by the National Science Foundation, will lead to low-cost window tintings which dynamically adapt for brightness, color temperatures and opacity (to provide for privacy while allowing light in).
