DUBLIN, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The “China Automotive Smart Glass Research Report, 2023” report has been added to the by ResearchAndMarkets.com offering.
Smart glass research: the automotive smart dimming canopy market valued RMB127 million in 2022 there is a bright future.
Smart dimming glass is a new type of special optoelectronic glass that is formed by mixing a liquid crystal film between two layers of glass and bonding them under high temperature. and high pressure.
By implementation mode, it falls into electric controlled, temperature controlled, optical controlled and pressure controlled.
In the automotive field, there are four major types of dimming glass: polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), suspended particle devices (SPD), electrochromic (EC) and dye liquid crystal (Dye LC). Wherein, PDLC, SPD and Dye LC have physical dimming, and EC chemical dimming.
-
PDLC appeared first. As the most mature and lowest cost technology, the majority of Chinese dimming glass manufacturers use the solution;
-
SPD is mainly used in high-end models such as Mercedes S/SL and yachts due to high power consumption and high cost;
-
Dye LC spends a relatively short time dimming with dichroic dye molecules;
-
EC has low haze, low energy consumption, good thermal insulation effect, continuous dimming, relatively long dimming time (2min on average) and medium cost.
Currently, smart dimming glass is often used in panoramic canopies, not only to give a deeper spatial impression but also automatically reduce the transmittance of ultraviolet and infrared rays of the burning sun for the purpose of lowering the temperature inside. According to data from the publisher, 1,636,900 units of new passenger cars in China installed with panoramic canopies in 2022, 0.5% of which are smart dimming canopies. It is expected that panoramic canopies will be installed in 3,684,100 units of new passenger cars by 2025, 6.1% of which are smart dimming canopies.
In this report, the panoramic canopy refers to: not opening the large-sized sunroof without segmental structure; the dimming canopy means: enabling the smart dimming control function based on the panoramic canopy.
In the future, smart dimming glass can be used on side windows and front windshields and more. For example, the side windows can display advertisements (display when the car is stopped and become transparent when the car starts and accelerates), and offer the backseat graffiti function for children, human-computer interaction, entertainment and more capabilities; the front windshield includes an AR HUD for anti-glare: combined with the front view camera, it detects the high beam of the oncoming vehicle, and automatically adjusts the transmittance of the front windshield to eliminate glare and ensure safe driving. driving.
At CES 2023, the BMW iVISION Dee Concept car featuring Gauzy’s PDLC and SPD glass technologies was shown. The front windshield enables the HUD to provide a wide viewing angle for a virtual image for all passengers; the side window supports dynamic privacy, shading, and ambiance management.
The split SPD-LCG smart glass windshield for BMW iVISION Dee allows the HUD to provide wide viewing angles for a virtual image.
From the smart dimming glass industry chain, it can be seen that the upstream mainly produces related dimming materials, films, glass substrates and PVBs; the midstream is responsible for the integration of dimming glass applied to OEM markets and aftermarkets. Upstream and midstream manufacturers are the first to start deploying patents. Among the global top 1,000 companies by patent filings, the first five companies are BOE, Nitto DenkoRicoh, Sony and Fuyao, where most of the BOE and Fuyao patents are filed during 2019-2022.
For example, in May 2019 The BOE filed CN 210514886 U Dimming Glass Patent, a display window technology patent in which the dimming glass layer is positioned with a basic dimming structure and a functional dimming structure: the first is used to adjust the light transmittance that shining on it, and the latter. used to reflect the light of a specific waveband that shines on it.
From the prospective smart dimming glass supply, the main suppliers are Fuyao, AGC, NSG, Gauzy, Saint-Gobain, Ambilight, and Research Frontiers. Among them, Fuyao remains completely dominant, thanks to strong supply relationships in the automotive glass market, as well as factors such as dimming glass technology R&D, cost balancing and occupant experience.
In the OEM market, installed models include Toyota Venza, BYD Seal, Neta S, Lotus Eletre, NIO EC7, Porsche Taycan, Lexus RZ, and Cadillac CELESTIQ (not mass-produced). Among them, the burning canopy glass surface of the Porsche Taycan is divided into nine individually controlled areas, and offers five dimming effects: transparent, matte, translucent, vivid, and user-defined. In the future, as consumers demand more beautiful, more comfortable and more intelligent cars, smart dimming glass will lead to a boom period in other fields in addition to the panoramic canopy.
