Product Broad Applications
 
Privacy
Privacy or transparency can be obtained at a moment’s notice in both exterior and interior installations. Glass with PDLC film can transform the functionality and appearance of:
 

• Conference rooms
• Private rooms in restaurants
• Patient rooms in hospitals
• Consultation rooms in clinics and medical offices
• Banks and financial services offices
• Sales offices in car dealerships

(Note: PDLC films also offers privacy options for private homes, especially where street views or neighboring homes are close at hand.)
 
Design: Switchable glass eliminates the need for dust-collecting draperies, shutters, and blinds, an option that designers may find very attractive.
 
Daylighting
To daylight an interior effectively, harsh sunlight must be moderated to reduce glare and spread more even illumination at comfortable levels. PDLC film-enabled windows, skylights, and glazed doors can be switched to translucent mode at peak hours of sunlight to cut light levels roughly in half and scatter the light, providing a diffuse source that illuminates more of the room with less glare.
 
Safety and Security
PDLC film makes switchable glass that is similar in construction and functionality to safety glass. Properly applied, glass panes laminated with PDLC film meet safety glass standards and can be used in security and hurricane-resistant window applications.
 
Temperature Control
PDLC film can reduce transmission of infrared radiation on demand. Switching a PDLC film window to its translucent state during peak sunlight can help control interior temperature and reduce the load on air-conditioning systems, lowering energy costs.
 
Multifunctional
Glass with PDLC film can substitute for a whiteboard, maximizing the utility of a conference room, classroom, or consultation room. It also performs excellently as a rear-projection screen for videos, slideshows, or almost any projected image.
 
 
Product Interior Applications
 
PDLC switchable glass can provide flexible use of space with privacy on demand (when needed). Some of the interior applications where this technology can be used include:
 

• Projection screen/display (rear projection only)
• Use with automated systems, such as smart buildings or smart homes
• Infection control in health-care settings (clinics, hospitals, nurseries, emergency rooms, ICUs, operating rooms)
• Bathrooms/shower enclosures
• Conference rooms
• Hurricane-resistant windows
• Optical shutters
• Security windows
• Skylights
• Energy-efficient enclosures
• Bulletproof enclosures

Key sustainability and energy-savings benefits of switchable privacy glass with PDLC technology are:

• Saves energy by using natural lighting while maintaining privacy
• Reduces materials consumption (fabric waste) used to make curtains, drapes, shutters, blinds, projection screens, and dry erase boards
• Eliminates the need for dust-collecting draperies, blinds, or shutters, improving indoor air quality (IAQ)
• Liquid crystal compounds are organic and biodegradable.
• Very low power consumption (equivalent to a clock radio)
• Blocks more than 80 percent of infrared and more than 99 percent ultraviolet radiation
• Reduces solar heat-gain, lowering energy consumption for HVAC
• Some manufacturers show a proven service life of greater than 10 years (in other words, 10-year old installations are still fully functioning).

Q: Why is PDLC called Privacy Glass?

A: When switched off, liquid crystal films are opaque, or solid, and can be used to make a space private.

Q: Can you project on PDLC?

A:Yes! PDLC creates the best projection surface with HD quality visuals and 180° viewing angles, turning switchable glass into a liquid crystal display. The best part? It can turn transparent for full use of windows or glass partitions instantly.

Q: What is the difference between Laminated and RetroFit PDLC Smart Film?

A: Laminated films are handled by glass fabricators and laminated between two pieces of glass with interlayers like PVB, EVA, or TPU. RetroFit PDLC films are applied to an existing piece of glass by window film installers.

Q: What frame types does LC Smart Glass require?

A: LC Smart Glass is compatible with most types of internal partition systems including sliding panels, IGU partitions and windows, and U or T profiles from most materials.

Q: How long does it take PDLC smart glass to switch?

A: Pretty fast – less than .1 second to be exact!
