A high-tech glass that you could change from transparent to frosted with the flick of a switch…
uses:
1. home windows (eliminating the need for blinds),
2. Stores fronts (at night),
3. bathrooms .
How does it work?
Liquid Crystals Displays:
Is a technique that can be found in many of the products that are used nowadays like in calculators, digital clocks and watches, microwave ovens all use liquid crystal displays (LCDs). In these displays, electricity is used to change the shape of the liquid crystals to allow light to pass through, thus forming figures and numbers on the display.
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals:
The technology behind an LCD is similar to the polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) used in some smart-window applications. In these windows, the liquid crystals respond to an electrical charge by aligning parallel and letting light through. When the electrical charge is absent, the liquid crystals in the window are randomly oriented. With liquid crystals, the glass is either clear or translucent. There are no intermediate settings.
PDLCs and suspended particle devices require power for their smart windows to be transparent. A different smart window technology is in development that would reverse the process.
Vario tintable glass and Smart Glass and smart glass film are the ideal electric privacy glass solution for bathrooms, kitchens, room partitions, windows and skylights. Our technology provides control over the amount of heat and light that enters a space.
