Product Information

Different types of glazing can show a variety of chromic phenomena, that is, based on photochemical effects the glazing changes its light transmission properties in response to an environmental signal such as light ( photochromism), temperature ( thermochromism), or voltage ( electrochromism).

The term "smart window" originated in the 1980s. It was introduced by Swedish material physicist Claes-Göran Granqvist from Chalmers University of Technology, who was brainstorming ideas for making building materials more energy efficient with scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. Granqvist used the term to describe a responsive window capable of dynamically changing its tint. [4] Electrically switchable smart glass [ edit ] The smart switchable glass technology can be integrated into windows, partitions and other transparent surfaces in various sectors, including architecture, interior design, automotive, smart retail windows, and consumer electronics. Smart Windows work in the same way to most Intelligent Glass products, which function by integrating a PDLC layer into the product that covers the glass surface. Unlike our competitors, this coating covers the surface edge to edge with no gap via a proprietary manufacturing process developed exclusively by Intelligent Glass. The various ways in which the PDLC coating is bonded varies from product to product depending on the level of layer protection needed, with some products encasing it inside the glass product, such as with our Switchable Smart Glass Double Glazed Units, whereas other products are manufactured by coating the layer down directly onto the glass. This layer is then wired up to a power source, which can vary from mains power to battery power depending on the requirements, allowing the product to change its state from frosted to clear on command via an activation method of the customer’s preference. When an electrical current is sent through the film, it changes from frosted to clear instantly as the crystals in the PDLC layer polarise, allowing more light to penetrate the surface as the glass changes to transparent. From award winning architecture projects, to unveiling the world’s most luxurious cars, we have seen Switchable technology work well in an extremely wide range of environments, including but not limited to homes, hotels, offices, healthcare, retail, hospitality and much more. Even the creative uses of this technology is constantly being expanded.Glass floor and stairs on the second floor appear cloudy when walked upon, otherwise they are transparent. Smart glass has been used in some small-production cars including the Ferrari 575 M Superamerica. [20] Smart glass using PDLC or SPD includes a film interlayer that is either laminated or retrofitted onto glass. This film interlayer consists of a PDLC formulation, or an SPD emulsion, that is coated between two sheets of transparent materials that each have an ITO conductive coating. When electricity is applied, the ITO conductive coating forces the molecules or particles in the chemical layer of the film to align, creating transparency.

Intelligent Glass offers a wide range of Switchable Smart Glass solutions with options including Toughened Glass, Laminated Panels, Smart Glass Windows and the retrofit Self-Adhesive Switchable Film.

Custom shapes and sizes are available and multiple pieces can be joined together to create large switchable glazed panels or partitions. May, Tiffany (19 August 2020).

Applied to dust-free rooms and cleaning rooms, smart films may be used to switch between transparent and non-transparent, and can reduce inconvenience for customers having to wear dust-free clothes passing in and out of the room.Please note each installation is different, based upon the overall quantity of material required and its location. For smaller, less typical projects (generally less than 10m2) the cost per m2 could increase significantly. Smart Windows help to open up worlds of possibilities when it comes to creative interior design that can be practical, functional and stylish. With applications ranging from incredible rear projection retail window displays to ‘smart home’ innovations that transform your living space, Switchable Smart Glass windows are a versatile and effective solution to a range of needs. How do Smart Windows work? The Volkswagen ID.7 has a smart glass panoramic sunroof, which can be switched from transparent to opaque electrically. [26] See also [ edit ] These types of glazings cannot be controlled manually. In contrast, all electrically switched smart windows can be made to automatically adapt their light transmission properties in response to temperature or brightness by integration with a thermometer or photosensor, respectively.

Solar UV protection: As with most of our products, our switchable smart film provides solar UV protection to reduce glare and prevent fading of textiles and furnishings within the roomIn polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal devices (PDLCs), liquid crystals are dissolved or dispersed into a liquid polymer followed by solidification or curing of the polymer. During the change of the polymer from a liquid to solid, the liquid crystals become incompatible with the solid polymer and form droplets throughout the solid polymer. The curing conditions affect the size of the droplets that in turn affect the final operating properties of the "smart window". Typically, the liquid mix of polymer and liquid crystals is placed between two layers of glass or plastic that include a thin layer of a transparent, conductive material followed by curing of the polymer, thereby forming the basic sandwich structure of the smart window. This structure is in effect a capacitor. ICE 3 high speed trains use electrochromic glass panels between the passenger compartment and the driver's cabin.
