Smart glass, also known as switchable glass or dynamic glass, is a type of glass that can change its light transmission properties based on environmental conditions or user input. This technology allows the glass to switch between transparent, translucent, or opaque states, providing various levels of privacy, light control, and energy efficiency.
Smart glass is made from PDLC films, which contain liquid crystals, a material with characteristics of both liquid and solid compounds. PDLC films are used to make smart glass because they contain liquid crystals. Although this type of film is generally used indoors, it can be designed to maintain its properties outdoors. PDLC comes in different colors and patterns. You can get it laminated (for newly fabricated glass) and retrofitted (for existing glass). In milliseconds, PDLC switches opaque glass to clear. PDLC is great for privacy, projection, and white boarding and give protection against UV rays.
When you turn on the electricity the liquid crystal molecules align themselves and the glass becomes clear. A frosted effect appears when the power is off.
By switching to opaque Smart Glass and Film products, you can let over 70 percent of visible light in while maintaining privacy and cutting glare. It's perfect for small spaces like offices, bedrooms and bathrooms, because it provides privacy on demand while still letting in natural light.

Glass and film with switchable properties are controlled by turning on and off an electric current. You can do this with a remote, smartphone app, home automation system, wireless control, set timer or smart door lock.
