E Ink like panels to enable smart windows that dynamically change their opacity and color temperature

Researchers from the University of Cincinnati, in collaboration with Merck and HP are developing low-cost large films that can be used to create smart windows that can dynamically adapt for brightness, color temperatures and opacity.

The so-called electro-kinetic pixel technology is based on the electrophoretic principle – the same one used in E Ink panels. The researchers are developing a way to create large-sized sheets of those pixels at low cost.
