Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 22, 2008, SmartGlass International Ltd. (SGI), a licensee of
Research Frontiers Inc., announced in a press release that its
SPD-SmartGlass architectural window product won the Most Innovative Product
Award at the 100% Detail Show in London, England.
After explaininf how SPD-Smart windows work, and discussing its use as a
sustainable building technology that gives architects, developers and building
operators substantial daylighting and other benefits because of its ability
to precisely regulate the passage of light, glare and heat through windows, SGI
also noted that as a dynamic glazing system, SPD-SmartGlass offers users
unprecedented control over their environment and view preservation and interior
shading, all at the touch of a button and while blocking more than 99% of
harmful UV light.
..
"Winning the Most Innovative Product Award with our
SPD-SmartGlass products caps a tremendously successful week
for SmartGlass International at 100% Detail," said Alan Saxby,
UK Sales Manager of SmartGlass International. "We opened the
week by announcing our stand; T28 would feature several
SPD-SmartGlass windows and that we recently had completed
an SPD-SmartGlass rooflight installation in London. We then
learned that our SPD-SmartGlass product was a finalist for the
Most Innovative Product Award. The show itself was very
well-attended, particularly by architects from large practices
throughout Europe, middle east and far east, and interest in our
SPD-SmartGlass as a sustainable building technology was
particularly strong. This gave us opportunities with architects
and potential end-users, many of whom had specific projects in
mind, with one strong enquiry for in excess of 5,000 m2 of
SPD-SmartGlass. Of course, the week's success was capped by
our winning the award which we see as a further strengthening
of the SmartGlass International brand."
