This film works by controlling the arrangement of the liquid crystals in it via an electrical circuit, so that the surface of the glass can switch between transparent and opaque states.
Why smart foil?
- Private sphere protection: the biggest advantage of smart glass film is that the glass surfaces cannot become transparent at the touch of a button. This is ideal for offices or meeting rooms where privacy may be needed from time to time.
- Energy saving: smart glass film eliminates the need for traditional curtains or blinds, reducing the cost of maintaining them. Furthermore, the thermal insulation properties of the film can help reduce energy consumption.
- Aesthetically pleasing: the discreet appearance and modern design of the glass film helps to create a clean, elegant environment while preserving the original beauty of the glass surfaces.
- Versatile use: this technology can be used in many areas, including architecture, interior design, healthcare and the automotive industry.
How does it work?
The smart glass film is based on PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology, in which liquid crystals are dispersed in a polymer matrix. When a current is applied to the film, the liquid crystals become ordered and the glass becomes transparent. Without current, the crystals are randomly arranged, scattering light and making the glass opaque.
