The term Licensed Product shall not include Light Valves used or intended for use in any product other than as specifically defined herein, such as but not limited to, other window products not specifically defined herein, such as, but not limited to, Light Valve Architectural Window Products, window products for vehicles not specifically included in the definition of Light Valve Transportation Vehicle Window Product, and non-window products such as but not limited to displays, eyewear, sunvisors, toys, mirrors or filters for scientific instruments, lamps or contrast enhancement of displays.

The term display means any device for displaying letters, numbers, images or other indicia or patterns. Nothing contained herein shall permit Licensee to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of a Light Valve which is not incorporated or intended to be incorporated as described above into a Light Valve Transportation Vehicle Window Product.

Light Valve means a variable light transmission device comprising a cell including cell walls, containing or adapted to contain an activatable material, described hereinafter, such that a change in the optical characteristics of the activatable material affects the characteristics of light absorbed by, transmitted through and/or reflected from the cell; means incorporated in or on the cell, or separate therefrom for applying an electric or magnetic field to the activatable material within the cell; and coatings, (including, but not limited to, electrodes), spacers, seals, electrical and/or electronic components, and other elements incorporated in or on the cell. The activatable material, which the cell contains or is adapted to contain, includes in it solid suspended particles, which when subjected to a suitable electric or magnetic field, orient to produce a change in the optical characteristics of the device, and may be in the form of a liquid suspension, gel, film or other material.

Light Valve Architectural Window Product means a Light Valve used or intended for use solely as a window integrally incorporated in, or attached as a fixture to the external structure or internal structure of any building, whether permanent or temporary, and whether above or below ground.

Light Valve Transportation Vehicle Window Product means a Light Valve used or intended for use as a window (including sunroofs, windshields, and side and rear window panes which are an integral part of the internal or external structure) integrally incorporated in a transportation vehicle of a type not primarily designed or primarily intended for military use. The term Light Valve Transportation Vehicle Window Product shall not include a Light Valve used or intended for use as a sunvisor, but may include Light Valves which are used or intended for use in a non-military transportation vehicle as, or as part of, or are laminated to, or the surface area of which is primarily attached to, a window, sunroof or windshield. The term transportation vehicle shall mean passenger cars, recreational vehicles, trucks, boats, mobile cranes, and trains, but shall not include other types of vehicles such as aircraft, space craft and space-stations.
