About Research Frontiers

Patent Owners & Lessors, SIC 6794

Research Frontiers Incorporated develops and licenses patented suspended particle device light-control technology, known as SPD-Smart. The company operates in a single business segment focused on developing and commercializing technologies that regulate the flow of light. It licenses its intellectual property rather than manufacturing finished goods directly. Its technology utilizes voltage-responsive nanoparticles within films to adjust light, glare, and heat transmission. Customers are industrial licensees that fabricate chemical emulsions, films, panels, and end products for aerospace, automotive, architectural, marine, rail, and display applications.

Headquartered in Woodbury, New York, the company operates with five full-time employees. Research Frontiers maintains global reach through licensees serving markets worldwide, including film production facilities in Germany and Israel. Its dimmable window technology is utilized internationally across more than forty aircraft models, as well as in passenger vehicles, marine vessels, and architectural structures.
