Vision Systems unveils a new smart window

Vision Systems, a world leader in shading systems and a challenger in IFE, presents two bespoke solutions ensuring a good return on investment: its latest dimmable shading system based on a new industrial process for enhanced optical quality and lower cost, Nuance V2, and its In-Flight Entertainment solutions providing a quick payback.

Vision Systems' second generation of Electronically Dimmable Windows (EDWs) eliminates shades and offers many advantages over other dimmable systems. Using an SPD film, they provide variable shading from fully clear to an extremely dark state (up to 99.9% light blockage) and instant response time. The significant heat gain reduction contributes to a considerable reduction of air conditioning consumption and a greater comfort for passengers when entering the cabin. Their fabrication also involves noise barriers for a better acoustic insulation.

Vision Systems' EDWs have no moving parts as the in-house developed touch panel and electronics are fully integrated, reducing maintenance costs and downtime, and installation is often limited to a simple mechanical operation, which is very advantageous for the aftermarket.

Last year, Vision Systems disclosed its interactive window Acti-Vision, this year it will unveil Electroluminescent solutions combined with a dimmable window and divider, Info-Vision, the smart information window. Whether on windows or dividers, short useful travel information is available for the passengers on the existing facilities. The background can adjust automatically from clear to dark for perfect contrast and readability (integrated SPD solution).

Smart Lite, Vision Systems' Business Unit devoted to intelligent glazing solutions, develops this new smart display, which finds applications in aircrafts but also in trains, coaches and ferries environments.
