Research Frontiers Incorporated (REFR) stands as a global innovator, focusing on the development and commercialization of advanced light-regulating technologies and associated devices. The company's core business revolves around its proprietary Suspended Particle Device (SPD-Smart) light-control technology, which it licenses to other businesses.
