Is #Tesla going to offer a #SmartGlass roof that incorporates the #SuspenderParticleDevice technology patented by #ResearchFrontiers #REFR
The patient recently filed by Tesla engineer Joong Min Yoon mentions #SPD (see section 0020 of the patent that's included in this linked #Electrek article)
Mercedes, Honda-Jet, McLaren, and the just announced all-electric RivianPick-up are already using the #VariableTint glass that Research Frontiers developed and licenses to OEMs. Research Frontiers earns a royalty on each piece of glass or polycarbonate using the SPD technology. (remember how that business model powered #Qualcomm from $10 to $90 by licensing its #CDMA patent) IMO, Research Frontiers patented Suspender Particle Device variable-tint smart glass holds the same investment potential. With its closely held low float and large short position, this stock could easily double on the next OEM announcement. Will it be Jaguar, Tesla, BMW, VW an Aircraft, Bus or Train manufacture? All are known to be testing Smart Glass or have shown concepts. For history sake, $REFR closed on Friday 4/26/19 at $2.86 per share.
Do Your Own Due Diligence. It's still a speculative investment. (Note I'm long stock and call options)

Patent snip - <<< 0020] Tint layer 206 may be electrically controlled to allow none, some, or all of the natural sunlight that is incident on advanced sunroof lighting system 106. For instance, tint layer 206 may be darkened when the vehicle occupants do not want the sunlight and tint layer 206 may be transparent or clear when the vehicle occupants want the sunlight. In certain embodiments of the invention, tint layer 206 with an SPD display element may be darkened by adjusting the voltage to the electrodes of the SPD display element using, for example, a rheostat. In other embodiments of the invention, tint layer 206 with a liquid crystal display element may be darkened by using small pixels which can be switched ON and OFF to create patterns that provide different degrees of shading . In certain embodiments of the invention, tint layer 206 may be controlled automatically based on a control signal generated using a sensor, for example, ambient light sensor. However, it may be noted that other sensors may be implemented by persons skilled in the art to automatically control tint layer 206 of sunroof 108. Whether operated manually or automatically, tint layer 206 offers a way to let controlled amount of natural light in vehicle 100.>>>
