#Low-cost, tunable smart windows developed with lectrokinetic pixelsresearchers at the University of Cincinnati with industry partners,
have created low-cost, smart window technology based on electro-kinetic pixels, which can dynamically adapt for brightness,
color temperatures and opacity something that neither blinds nor existing smart windows can do. This patent-pending research, supported by the National Science Foundation, will hopefully lead to low-cost window tinting that can provide a wide range of optical functionality such as adjusting for color and brightness.
What is the problem? Currently, most home and commercial windows use inexpensive, mechanical shades to provide privacy
and to block light, heat or cold. These (as you may have guessed) are quite effective, which has slowed the adoption of relatively expensive and seemingly unnecessary electronically controlled window tinting.
Previously these electronic windows could only mimic the clear-to-opaque performance of mechanical shades therefore offering no additional performance or functionality benefit,
but at a cost far greater than existing, and much simpler, age-old technology. For any real-world interest to gain hold, smart windows need to be both inexpensive
and offer something that shades cannot. What have the researchers actually created? The researchers have produced electrokinetic pixels for use as a fundamental smart window element.
These are capable of dimming light transmission and fully altering the color temperature of transmitted light.
They can be integrated easily into new windows or even easily applied to already existing windows,
by means of a roll-on coating consisting of a honeycomb of electrodes (see bottom right image).
or change the color of the light along a spectrum from cooler blue to warmer yellow The image to the above right shows the different potential states the window tiles could operate In this is a mock-up based on the results from the single device.
