Dallas, TX -- (SBWire) -- 06/27/2014 --ReportsandReports.com adds report “Smart Glass Market by Technology (Electrochromics, SPD, Liquid Crystal, Microblinds, Thermographic and Photochromics), Application (Architectural, Transportation, Solar power generation, Electronics & others), & by Geography – Global Forecast to 2014 – 2020” to its store.

Smart glass is also known by switchable glass, dimmable glass or dynamic glass. It is a kind of glass which changes its light transmission properties according to the provided stimulus. Based on whether, they require an electrical stimulus to respond or the level of control it offers to users; it can be categorized into Active or Passive. Electrochromic, SPD, and Liquid crystal are some of the active smart glass technologies which respond to voltage as a stimulus and adjust the light transmission property dynamically. On the other hand, Passive smart glass technologies such as Thermochromic and Photochromic react naturally to heat or light.
