Electrochromic devices change light transmission properties in response to voltage and thus allow control over the amount of light and heat passing through. [12] In electrochromic windows, the material changes its opacity. A burst of electricity is required for changing its opacity, but the material maintains its shade with little to no ...
Electrochromism is commonly used in the production of electrochromic windows or "smart glass", [3] [1] and more recently electrochromic displays on paper substrate as anti-counterfeiting systems integrated into packaging. [27]
Even though electrochromic devices are considered to be more “passive” since they do not emit light and need external illumination to function, electrochromic coatings on devices have been proposed for flat panel displays and visual-display units (VDUs). For example, an electrochromic coating was featured on an iPod in the early 2000s, and ...
SAGE Electrochromics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, is a specialized window glass developer based in Faribault, Minnesota. The company develops electronically tintable smart glass (also called electrochromic glass, EC, or dynamic glass), for use in building windows, skylights and curtainwalls, that can be electronically tinted or cleared to optimize daylight and improve ...
The company's product, View Dynamic Glass, features an electrochromic (EC) coating composed of multiple layers of ceramic metal oxide with a thickness of 1 micron. [18] Low voltage wiring is added so the tint of the glass can be controlled through an app or centralized software system in response to weather or interior temperature.

With winter weather often comes drafty windows. Incorrectly installed or aging windows can let drafty cold air in, reducing your home's energy efficiency and increasing its heating bill.
One university study shows that this heated glass technology is more efficient than other electric heating and can be more efficient than natural gas heating. [5] Some environmentalists dispute the idea that this is an efficient heating system because even high e-value windows are poor insulators compared to insulated walls, and they believe ...
