SMART FILM AS A SMART GLASS
 
Smart Glass with Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) or Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology, light-controlled spaces by applying technology to new and existing glass. PDLC Smart Glass can change glass from opaque to clear giving you privacy and temperature control with the click of a switch. SPD smart glass blocks 99.5% of light, allowing windows to dim and tint without blocking views, making it the optimal shading choice for exterior windows across industries.

SMART GLASS COMPOSITION

Technology consists of specially developed SPD emulsions or PDLC formulations that are coated between two sheets of PET-ITO, and then UV cured, creating a single film. These films are laminated into, or installed onto.


 


Smart Glass with PDLC technology:

  • On, off, or anywhere in between in milliseconds; 
  • Privacy or an open atmosphere instantly
  • Rear projection screen or whiteboard use when opaque;
  • Temperature control through exterior windows with Solar Control films;
  • Allow light to flow between spaces for greater wellbeing and energy optimization;
  • Easily connected to Lutron or other automation and lighting control systems.
