In that particular quote...according to Dr. Lampert himself, he was NOT referring to SPD but to glazing technologies in general. The only cost-effective, viable glazing technology is EC. That's why GNTX is a real company with real sales...and REFR is a penny stock fraud that relies on obsessed cult followers such as yourself to prop it up. Not true. He was referring to the SPD window that Hanglas had developed. Something EC has been unable to do commercially. Lampert did not disparage SPD, however he did say that RFI misrepresented his opinions in at least one press release. RFI spun his words to imply that he was endorsing SPD as better than other switchable-glazing technologies...when the exact opposite was true. That was 1998. Things have changed. Several EC projects have been dropped. REFR and SPD are not frauds. You have lied about the company and you continue to post on Yahoo nonstop, which indicates to me you are still short and the "hedgies" you put this in front of are in real trouble. By the way, here's what Lampert said in 2000 two years after you spoke with him: Dr. Lampert’s conclusions: 1. RFI and its licensees are poised and in a very good position to take advantage of the window, aircraft, display, print media, and automotive mirror markets. Dr. Lampert noted that he wouldn’t be part of Research Frontiers’ Annual Meeting if he didn’t believe this. 2. The switchable glazing market needs to be monitored closely. Although glass companies are very conservative, when one company develops a new product, others want it. 3. Switchable mirrors in cars are very profitable. Auto companies are familiar with them as a result of electrochromic mirrors presently used. Large growth potential exists in this market. 4. Switchable glazings in airplanes should also be closely monitored by RFI and its licensees. Testing is already taking place in this area. Dr. Lampert stated that switchable glazing airplane windows present a good potential market for SPD technology due to the fact that SPD technology can be used in plastic materials. Plastic materials are preferred by airplane manufacturers because they are light weight and thus have a positive effect on fuel consumption. 5. There is growth taking place in the mobile/cell phone market and low-cost, flexible low-powered displays are desired. This also presents an excellent opportunity for RFI and its licensees. 6. Electronic paper or e-Books is a growing market also needing low-cost displays. Hence, another huge market potential for SPD technology. 7. Another commercial opportunity for SPD technology is in low-information-content displays targeted for advertising purposes. Dr. Lampert concluded by stating that many markets either exist or are developing for SPD technology, thus presenting great commercial market opportunities for Research Frontiers and its licensees.
