I asked AI:
is SPD used in AGC Wonderlite dx black?

The answer I received:

"Yes, the AGC WONDERLITEâ„¢ light control glass for vehicles, including the "DX Black" version, is based on Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology, where particles within the glass become aligned when an electrical voltage is applied, allowing for adjustable transparency and light control. This technology integrates with special solar control coatings to provide comfort and energy savings by filtering UV and IR radiation."

The push for black is here.

Based on this rendering of AGC's IAA 2025 exhibit, their push seems to be serious:



Also, their June LinkedIn IAA post leads to an AGC page showing the Black Wonderlite Dx with a definite blue cast:





while this Automotive Industries article from 10 days ago shows something much closer to gray/black PDLC.



ChatGPT tells me it uses EC (with no corroborating sources). Google Gemini goes with SPD, based on the Automotive Industries article and the original AGC Wonderlite glass roof PR and video (from 8 years ago.)
