    Abstract: A system for reducing glare in a vehicle includes a windshield treated with a coating, an external light sensor configured to detect a position of a light source external to a vehicle, an eye sensor configured to detect a location of an eye of an operator of the vehicle. The system also includes an emitter configured to excite a location of the coating on the windshield from a first state to a second state that is more opaque than the first state. The system further includes a processor programmed to determine the location of the coating for exciting based on the detected position of the light source and detected position of the eye, and to control the emitter to selectively excite the coating at the location from the first state to the second state.

    Abstract: A spatial light modulator having a layer of thermo-optical medium, where the thermo-optical medium is at least partially transparent for at least one spectral component of visible or near infrared light and having the thermal conductivity between 0.01 and 30 W K−1 m−1 at the temperature of 20° C. and the layer having a thickness up to 100 μm is disclosed. At least one heating microsource in thermal contact with the layer of the thermo-optical medium, where each heating microsource has at least one dimension smaller than 10 μm, and at least one substrate in thermal contact with the thermo-optical medium, the substrate having a thermo-optic coefficient at least 10 times smaller than a thermo-optic coefficient of the thermo-optical medium and a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W K−1 m−1 while the thermal conductivity of the substrate is higher than the thermal conductivity of the thermo-optical medium.
