Company’s first-ever SPD product with distinguishable black appearance can be seen on display at Gauzy’s Booth #6516 in Automotive West Hall
Enables Gauzy to further solidify its already dominant position in SPD Smart Glass, a market expected to reach
World’s most powerful tech event provides Gauzy the opportunity to showcase several additional light and vision control products, including introducing its transformative Solar-Powered energy harvesting Light Control Glass (LCG®) for the first time in the U.S.
NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gauzy Ltd. (Nasdaq: GAUZ), a global leader in light and vision control technology, is pleased to announce that it has unveiled its latest suspended particle device (SPD) Smart Glass technology at CES 2025, the most influential tech event in the world. Gauzy’s first-ever black SPD Smart Glass technology has a distinguishable black appearance and was created to accommodate the robust demand from the three strong and growing markets that the company targets – the automotive, aeronautics, and architecture industries – for a dark and neutral colored dimmable glass that enhances design while supporting visual and thermal comfort. This new product has been developed to continue offering the same appreciated performance of the existing SPD products sold by Gauzy and currently adopted in the market, while offering the neutral black color the market has requested. Gauzy expects the black SPD product to be available for commercial orders and serial production in the future.
This latest innovation positions Gauzy to further solidify its already dominant market share within the smart glass industry. The popularity of SPD Smart Glass – as well as polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) Smart Glass, which the company also develops and manufactures – continues to rise due to its numerous advantages over traditional shading systems and other smart glass solutions, including its ability to transition from clear to fully opaque within seconds, block more than
“Over the last few quarters, many of our high-profile customers across the automotive, aeronautics, and architecture sectors have expressed their desire for SPD Smart Glass with a black appearance, and we are thrilled to unveil it at CES 2025,” stated Eyal Peso, CEO of Gauzy. “Our ability to work expeditiously to innovate and create a solution that the market demands reflects the sophistication of our research and development capabilities and exemplifies why we continue to grow and solidify our competitive position in light control. We believe this new offering and its darker aesthetics will broaden the number of users who implement Smart Glass into their designs going forward, and we anticipate that it will quickly become one of our top-selling SPD products.”
The new black SPD Smart Glass technology by Gauzy will be on display throughout the duration of CES at Gauzy’s Booth #6516 in the Automotive West Hall. Gauzy invites all CES attendees to stop by and experience the many features of SPD technology and discover why a growing number of world-renowned OEMs like Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, and Cadillac have chosen to incorporate SPD into their automotive designs in serial production.
Joseph M. Harary, President and CEO of Research Frontiers (Nasdaq: REFR), commented from CES: “SPD is the best performing instantly switchable smart glass solution for shading and has become extremely popular with its existing color for sky facing applications such as sunroofs and skylights. As our market penetration expands to vertically-oriented glass on the side of cars and buildings, this new development being shown today with a more neutral color is impactful. This new capability to offer a black SPD-Smart Glass product, along with Gauzy’s Solar Powered smart glass innovation and the recent announcement of the retrofit application for our smart glass, will make it easier and more cost effective to install smart windows in homes, apartments and office buildings.”
Gauzy is also showcasing several other of its groundbreaking solutions at its booth at the world’s most powerful tech event, including introducing its newly-announced Solar Powered LCG® for the first time in the U.S. This transformative technology redefines the capabilities of smart glass. By embedding Gauzy’s LCG® PDLC and SPD technologies with transparent solar cells, Gauzy enables smart glass to harvest energy from the sun. This integration of solar cells with Gauzy’s light control technologies allows the panels to generate and harvest electricity that can be used to power electrical devices within a vehicle or building, including the smart glass system itself, providing an alternative source of energy that can contribute to reduced operating costs and increased sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives across industries.
Moreover, additional light and vision control products of Gauzy’s that increase safety, comfort and sustainability are on display in the company’s booth, including smart glass sunroofs, side door windows and sun visors with either SPD or PDLC technology, its AI-powered advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) Smart-Vision® for buses and trucks; a 55" LG Display T-OLED with segmented SPD and smart glass and shading solutions for commercial and private aircraft as well as railway.
