ABSTRACT:
A window shutter device for automatic regulation of solar illumination in response to variations in external sunlight. Gas pressure change in a sunlit cavity causes fluid displacement between two transparent window panes. A transparent fluid is displaced by another fluid which blocks part of the sunlight falling on the panes. Glare is prevented while preserving adequate interior illumination and a clear view outside the window.
