[edit] Merge & requested move
I have completely re-worked this article, incorporating also information from Smartglass except for the following aspects for which I could found no independent sources: "LC SmartGlass [...] uses about 5 W/m2 to run", and "The technology [...] is notably used extensively within the Guinness exhibition at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin".
Both stubs had so far quite incomplete information; the present contents of the article should give a much more complete overview over the topic.
I have also requested a move from "Smart windows" to "Smart glass", for the following reason:
- "Smartglass" and "Smart windows" have been proposed for a merger. The new name should be a generic name, that is, "Smart glass", because "Smartglass" is corporate wording for a technology better known as "smart glass" (or "switchable glass"). Also, "Smart windows" refer exclusively to applications for windows, whereas the technology has a larger scope of applications. The present content of this page is a complete re-working of the topic, also incorporating the information from the the two stubs "Smartglass" and "Smart windows". The page Smart glass, to which the content of "Smart windows" should be moved, had a redirect to "Smartglass". — Chris Howard 20:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I moved the page, as fairly uncontroversial. Smartglass which looked kinda spammish is now a redirect. I hope you merged the worthy contents here (frankly, I didn't check). Duja 07:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
