DUSSELDORF, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glasstec – eLstar Dynamics, the leading developer of high-performance glass, announces the unveiling of large-scale eclipse™ dynamic glass this week at Glasstec. eclipse™, based on eLstar's proprietary electrophoretic light modulator (ELM) technology, is the most sustainable dynamic glass available. It is made from non-toxic, earth-abundant, recyclable materials, and reduces energy consumption in buildings and vehicles, lowering utility bills and CO2 footprint.
At just 1 mm thick, and available in custom sizes up to 2.9 meters x 3.3 meters, eclipse™ is also the lightest, largest, and most versatile dynamic glass available, fully compatible with traditional downstream processes such as lamination and fabrication of insulating glass units.

We continue to revolutionize the smart glass industry by developing solutions that are friendly for our planet.”
eclipse™ uses electrophoretic ink technology, proven in more than one billion e-readers, enabling customizable closed-state colours and a completely colour-neutral open state, providing all the benefits of natural light, or blocking it in seconds for privacy and comfort.
