1979
The year is 1979... with dreams of a technology for innovating glass that was far ahead of its time, and armed with the invaluable experience of his first company, Cynergy Electronics — creators of Steremote (winner of the Consumer Electronics Award, 1979) — Steve Abadi set out to revolutionize glass by infusing it with liquid crystal. It was a bold move that reflects the daring of a young entrepreneur at the time, who in his twenties, was featured in such publications as Billboard and Playboy for his forward-thinking ideas.
1984
After collaborating closely with Allied Signal and its original liquid crystal technology, Steve came to market with his own Dynamic Glazing product in 1984 — “LC Glass,” short for Liquid Crystal. While the attention he drew was significant, his pioneering breakthrough had been introduced to a market that could not technically support its innovation. Steve felt compelled to put LC Glass, and his bold dreams, on hold — temporarily.
2003
Although it would take the industry 20 years to catch up to Steve’s imagination, he seized the moment in 2003 to reintroduce his innovation by founding the aptly named Innovative Glass Corp.
Since 2003, Innovative Glass Corp has devoted substantial research, development, engineering and manufacturing resources to completely redefine the properties of glass. We integrate glass with electronics and other Dynamic Glazing technologies, creating a family of "Smart" dynamic products that control functions such as light, privacy, sun glare and heat gain — automatically, at the touch of a button, or by voice command.
2016
