How much do you know about the smart glass?

Principle:Smart glass is formed by using the existing dry-process laminated glass production process, and firmly bonding the dimming film between two pieces of ordinary float glass through the interlayer film.

Characteristic:Due to the production process of laminated glass, the smart glass has the characteristics of "transparent when electrify and non-light tight but opaque" and various characteristics of laminated glass.Transparency at power-on, opaque at power-off and light-transmittance: This feature mainly stems from the "electro-optic effect" of the liquid crystal in the dimming film.

In more detail, there is a kind of liquid crystal molecules (PDLC). When the electricity is not applied, and the liquid crystal molecules are scattered and become a frosted state; when energized, the liquid crystal molecules will be instantly aligned in a line, and the state will be transparent instantly.This is the magical place of dimming glass.

Safety:The film in the smart dimming glass firmly bonds the glass, so that when the smart dimming glass is broken by impact, the glass fragments stick to the film in the middle, and the glass fragments will not splash and hurt people

Environmental protection characteristics:The dimming film and film in the middle of smart glass can shield more than 90% of infrared rays and more than 99% of ultraviolet rays. Infrared shielding can reduce heat radiation and transmission; while shielding ultraviolet can protect indoor furnishings from fading and aging due to ultraviolet radiation, and protect personnel from diseases caused by direct ultraviolet radiation.

Sound insulation characteristics:The dimming film and film in the middle of smart glass has sound damping effect, which can effectively block all kinds of noise.

To put it simply, if you have such a glass, you can freely change the permeability, and adjust the performance according to the occasion, mood, and functional requirements.

As a technological product, what aspects of smart glass can be applied to?

Business applications

• Curtain effect:In the transparent state, it can display background decoration drawings, or as a glass wall of the conference room. It can replace the imaging screen in the opaque state, and it has more clear picture characteristics. In this way, it breaks the monopoly of traditional cement walls and realizes multiple functions
•  
• Space partition:Even a large office area, cut off by several walls or frosted glass will appear small and sullen, all using transparent glass design and lack of business confidentiality, then it is really necessary to adjust the transparency of the glass material to solve the trouble.
•  

When the meeting room is idle, it can be adjusted to full light and transparent state. When conducting business negotiations, as long as a light move, the entire negotiation area can be completely blurred from the surrounding eyes.

(Broad view & private space)

• External settings:Adding smart glass to the balcony bay window can make a revolutionary improvement on the poor privacy that everyone in the building can see. Under normal circumstances, adjust to a transparent state to maintain translucent lighting; under a random state, in order to maintain a sense of security, it can be adjusted to an opaque state, but there is still sunlight to get close, which can achieve two things at one stroke.The same applies to toilets and showers.
•  
• Indoor space partition:Use smart glass to separate the rooms, improve the space layout, increase the freedom of brightness adjustment, and you will get unexpected results.
•  

Small home theater curtain (leisure personal space):The same applies to business theater curtain

Medical institution application

It can replace curtains and play a role of shielding and partitioning, solid and safe, soundproof and complex, and more environmentally friendly and not easy to pollute. It removes concerns for patients and saves trouble for doctors.

Shopping mall anti-theft application

In the bullet-proof glass of counters of bank jewellery, museums and exhibitions, and the glass of showcases, they are kept transparent during normal business applications. In case of emergencies, they can be remotely controlled to instantly achieve a fuzzy state, which can make criminals lose their goals. Degree to ensure personal and property safety.

In addition, smart glass can also be used in commercial entertainment, aviation and navigation, railway transportation, store windows, and other key national facilities and other fields.

The above is an introduction to smart glass.
