Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
At the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007, Hino Motors, Ltd., a subsidary of
Toyota Motor Corporation, is featuring a new concept motorcoach with
windows using Research Frontiers' patented SPD-Smart light-control
technology. The S'elega Premium, with its variable tint SPD "smart"
windows, was shown earlier today at a press briefing by senior
executives of Hino Motors at the Tokyo Motor Show. Members of the
media were able to experience the benefits of smart windows while
sitting in Hino Motors' top-of-the-line S'elega Premium luxury
tour bus on display at the show.
SPD-Smart automotive windows allow vehicle occupants to
instantly, precisely and uniformly control the amount of sunlight,
glare and heat passing through the windows, sunroofs and other
glazings. They also block more than 99% of harmful UV radiation.
The S'elega Premium, which has five large SPD-Smart window
panels totaling over 11 square meters of glass (more than 36 square
feet) on the side of the motorcoach, is featured in a promotional
video from Hino and can be seen and experienced at the Tokyo Auto
Show through November 11, 2007. The SPD-SmartGlass laminated
windows on the S'elega Premium are curved and are approximately
1.1 meters (43.4 inches) tall and most are over 2 meters
(81 inches) wide.
The SPD-Smart windows for the S'elega Premium concept
vehicle were produced and supplied by Asahi Glass Company, a
licensee of Research Frontiers.
