Toyota Adopts Light Control Glass for Panoramic Sunroof

AGC Inc. has announced its light control glass, WONDERLITE Dx, has been adopted for the panoramic sunroof of Toyota’s new Harrier. When used as vehicle exterior glass, this product enables instantaneous control of light transmission.

AGC’s light control glass WONDERLITE Dx comprises a specialized film encapsulated between layers of interlayer in laminated automotive glass. By softening the sun’s glare in dimmed mode (opaque state) and providing a wide sense of openness in transparent mode (clear state), the product realizes a vehicle interior that allows light to pour in from the panoramic sunroof whenever the user wishes.
