Viewport
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A viewport was an opening within a wall or bulkhead that allowed for a being to see through. Typically made from transparisteel, most viewports were usually, but not always, as strong as any wall; this was true in most buildings as well as on starships, ranging from small freighters to vast capital ships. Viewports also came in many different styles, shapes and sizes, depending on the needs of the builder, the user and the expense for either one.
On worlds where high technology was still in its infancy, or if it was not economically-feasible to use transparisteel, then a form of glass made from silicate material (sand) was utilized as a substitute.
