Joseph M. Harary, President and CEO of Research Frontiers, noted: "This investment and its timing make perfect sense to those that follow the smart glass industry in general, and Research Frontiers and our leading SPD-Smart light-control technology in particular. With business activity in the SPD industry expanding at Research Frontiers and especially at our larger licensees, more projects being announced or recently completed using our SPD-SmartGlass technology, and some very highly visible products using our technology currently planned to be launched internationally, we are adding resources and people, especially in the sales, marketing, and business development areas. We are moving at light speed."
Mr. Harary continued: "I also thank our shareholders and the investors in this round of financing for their continued support as we grow our business and the SPD-Smart products industry. These investors include people who participated in our prior financing rounds, and internationally-known architects, and owners, operators and developers of some of the world抯 largest and most prestigious buildings. Their participation is part of a growing awareness of the benefits that SPD-SmartGlass technology brings. Independent data shows that SPD-SmartGlass technology can be used to make the highest-performing and most energy-efficient windows in the world. Architects, engineers, designers and new product developers are also beginning to utilize these and other benefits including energy savings from solar heat gain control and management, reduction of interior lighting costs due to enhanced daylight harvesting, and increased comfort, safety, functionality, protection from harmful UV radiation, and security."
SPD-Smart light-control film technology transforms widely used products ?windows, skylights, curtainwalls, partitions, sunroofs and more ?into products that allow users to instantly and precisely control the light, glare and heat entering a building or vehicle. SPD-SmartGlass is instantly tunable to an infinite number of light transmission states regardless of window size, and easily adapts to individual preferences using control devices ranging from basic dimmer switches and photosensors to those that are integrated into a building's or vehicle's intelligent control system. These unequalled performance characteristics help optimize energy-savings and human comfort, and they offer many other desired benefits such as increased security, noise reduction, protection from harmful ultraviolet light and the potential for aesthetically distinctive designs.
