An extensive IP Portfolio

Independent of 3rd party IP

The array design is based on a patented concept that delivers high optical performance, at lower power, without the need for complex processes or materials.

Design

This is the company’s ‘Secret Recipe’. Or more precisely, ‘Secret Recipes’. eLstar Dynamic maintains a broad portfolio of ink formulations. Strictly controlled by company Trade Secrecy policies. Being pigment based, it is possible to create a limitless palette of colors, with superb neutrality throughout the dynamic range.

Combining the array concept with the specific characteristics of each ink requires complex drive schemes, capable of maintaining high levels of performance and fidelity, over a broad range of challenging applications.

, a leading developer of smart adaptive glass, and Morphotonics, the leading large-area nanoimprinting equipment company, announce a successful collaboration using nanoimprinted (NIL) spacers as part of the smart glass fabrication process. This advanced manufacturing process is based on eLstar’s proprietary electrophoretic technology and Morphotonics’ unique Roll-to-Plate (R2P) nanoimprinting technology. By enabling flexibility in the spacer design, especially for large-area glass substrates, it allows more design versatility and lowered manufacturing costs.

“Using NIL to create spacers is a new innovative process that enables flexibility in the spacer process, making smart glass sustainable and even more affordable,” says Anthony Slack, CEO of eLstar Dynamics. “We are pleased to see positive results in this project working closely with Morphotonics, given their market leadership in this area, and look forward to exploring the many possibilities NIL has to offer.”

“There is a great fit between eLstar’s smart glass product size, quality, and cost targets and what we offer through our large-area nanoimprinting technology,” added Onno Lint, CEO of Morphotonics. “This further validates the versatility of our R2P equipment and its ability to address diverse applications and markets beyond display optics. We are excited to support eLstar’s go-to-market efforts and can’t wait to see their smart glass in action.”

eLstar’s cutting-edge adaptive smart glass, with its new Purity design, reduces and minimizes glass distortion therefore offering a clear smart glass for superior visual comfort and energy savings. eLstar’s adaptive smart glass, driven by electrophoretic light modulator (ELM) technology, allows control of the solar energy that enters a building or vehicle and enables solar heat to enter when it’s needed and to be absorbed when unwanted.

Morphotonics’ market-proven R2P imprint technology enables the high-volume manufacturing of nano/micron-size surface structures over extremely large areas.This leads to unprecedented cost advantages and radically improved products for customers in the display, sensing, solar, and other deep technology sectors, where such manufacturing precision with cost-competitiveness is the prerequisite for mass-market entry.

 is a leading developer and provider of adaptive smart glass for a wide range of applications such as architecture, automotive and specialty markets. eLstar addresses the needs for attainable solutions by offering sustainable and affordable smart glass. By using existing manufacturing facilities, eLstar is able to produce smart glass with much lower energy and impact to the environment.

is the leading supplier of Roll-to-Plate (R2P) nanoimprint technology solutions. Our innovative nanoimprint equipment, consumables, and process know-how enable micro-and nanostructures to be applied on extremely large areas in high volume production. This leads to improved products with cost advantages for our customers in the display, automotive, and other deep technology sectors. Morphotonics is located in the Brainport Region of Eindhoven in The Netherlands. Our R2P nanoimprint technology has been adopted by leading customers in Europe, United States and Asia.

May 10, 2022, San Jose, CA, from Display Week– 

eLstar Dynamics, a leading developer of smart adaptive glass, announces the opening of its first ink production facility based in Eindhoven, Netherlands. This new facility represents the first phase of expansion for ink production, with a capacity to produce enough ink for 300,000m2 – 400,000m2 of smart glass. The new facility will be used to scale up the manufacturing process of “solar-control” inks for energy-saving dimmable windows, skylights and automotive applications. eLstar Dynamics’ unique smart glass technology offers unparalleled control of solar glare and heat.

“We have made striking advances in the past several years with our adaptive switchable glass technology, offering high optical clarity, low distortion and superior optical range,” said Anthony Slack, CEO of eLstar Dynamics. “We’re excited to open this new facility in Eindhoven’s high tech center and look forward to scaling up our production in anticipation of the growing demands for dimmable energy-savings windows.”

elStar Dynamics’ smart adaptive glass technology offers superior controlled and sustainable visual comfort. With years of research and testing, the company has developed a cost-effective solution that is optically superior across both visible and NIR spectrums and can be produced and customized in any color imaginable.

eLstar Dynamics Opens Ink Production Facility in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

May 10, 2022, San Jose, CA, from Display Week 2022

– eLstar Dynamics, a leading developer of smart adaptive glass, announces the development of a new array design using an electrophoretic light modulator (ELM) to achieve the utmost glass clarity. eLstar Dynamics’ new design, named Purity, minimizes discoloration, haze and diffraction, offering a low distortion and crystal clear glass optimized for windows. In addition to enhancing the clarity of the glass, eLstar Dynamics’ adaptive glass can be produced and customized in any color imaginable and offers substantial energy-savings by controlling the amount of solar energy that enters a building; therefore, creating windows that are clear, energy efficient and comfortable. eLstar Dynamics will demonstrate Purity at #WirelessWeek2022 from May 10 to 12, in San Jose, California, at booth 839.

“All smart glass technologies suffer from some kind of visible effect,” says Anthony Slack, CEO of eLstar Dynamics. “With our new state-of-the-art Purity design, we are able to reduce and minimize any distortion, therefore offering a clear smart glass for comfortable, energy-efficient spaces.”

The new Purity design represents the application of a considerable body of work aimed at optimizing device structures to ensure a highly effective switching function of the ELM. Simultaneously, Purity minimizes optical distortions, and allows for the electro-optic switching characteristic to remain consistent across the entire range.
