Research Frontiers Sells New License To AGC Flat Glass Europe to Manufacture and Offer SPD-Smart Architectural Windows



    Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR) has sold a new license to
    AGC Flat Glass Europe SA to offer architectural smart windows using
    Research Frontiers´ patented SPD-Smart(TM) light-control film. When
    integrated with windows, skylights, light tubes, doors, interior
    partitions and other products, SPD-Smart film gives users the ability
    to rapidly, precisely and uniformly control the amount of light, glare
    and heat passing through glass or plastic.

    AGC Flat Glass Europe (formerly Glaverbel SA) is the European flat
    glass branch of AGC (Asahi Glass Company), the world´s largest
    glassmaking group. The company is a growth-oriented, customer-focused
    company highly regarded globally for its innovative products. The new
    non-exclusive worldwide license agreement with AGC Flat Glass Europe,
    which renews and replaces Glaverbel´s prior license agreement,
    provides for a 5-10% royalty payable to Research Frontiers on sales of
    licensed products. Other license provisions, including fees and
    minimum annual royalties payable to Research Frontiers, were not
    disclosed.

    SPD light-control technology is protected by over 500 patents and
    patent applications held by Research Frontiers Inc., the developer and
    licensor of the technology to be used in AGC Flat Glass Europe´s smart
    window products. As well as instant light control benefits, SPD-Smart
    products reduce outside noise, provide greater security for both
    privacy and structural integrity, and protect interiors and occupants
    from heat and harmful ultraviolet radiation.

    In addition to being an environmentally friendly "clean
    technology" because of its potential daylighting and energy savings
    advantages, SPD-Smart windows provide empowering quality-of-life and
    aesthetic benefits by offering control over the environment to suit
    one´s preference. These windows, skylights and other glazings can be
    optically clear, block over 99% of visible light, and are tunable
    manually or automatically to any level of light transmission between
    dark and clear. All of this is done instantly regardless of the window
    size - advantages that other competitive smart window technologies,
    such as liquid crystal or electrochromics, cannot offer.
