The so-called “smart cabin automated dimming system” (Scads) marks the latest stage in evolution of the electrically dimmable E-Shade smart window from InspecTech of Fort Lauderdale.

The smart window allows the passenger or crew to “dim” a window from clear to 99.6 percent opaque with a push of a button. To change the opacity of the window, the system passes a low electrical charge through a gel sandwich between layers of clear glass or Plexiglas. The controls also allow for settings between clear and opaque.
