Yes, smart glass/film is a rear projector screen with wide viewing angles. Even from the side one can enjoy clear, beautiful images and also in bright locations with high functional projectors.

Why does PDLC require a polymer?
The polymer allows the liquid crystals to be embedded into a film, which can then be sandwiched between panels of glass or plastic. The polymer has constant optical properties which do not vary across its structure, and hence is considered isotropic. In contrast, the liquid crystal itself is anisotropic, since its optical characteristics are not constant across its structure, but rather can vary under application of an electric field.
PDLC smart glass is composed of : Outermost panels of normal float glass (or sometimes acrylic) sandwiched around: Inner panels of optically clear PET plastic (polyethylene terephthalate), sandwiched around: ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) which is a transparent conductor, sandwiched around: a PDLC core comprised of liquid crystal droplets, suspended in a polymer.
How To Install The Self-Adhesive Smart Film?
Step 1.Preparation of Smart Film
1.1 Take out the self-adhesive smart film from the package carefully.
1.2 Put the dust cloth to a dust-free open space unroll the smart film and lay it flat.
Step 2.Preparation of Glass
2.1 Check the glass and make sure if there are adhesive strips and any other obstacle on the edge of the glass.
2.2 If there are adhesive strips remove or cut off them around the glass.
2.3 Caution: Don't scratch the glass when you remove the strips.
2.4 Pick up the right film confirm the film size according to the size of glass.
2.5 Spray clean water or water with detergent on the glass.
2.6 Clean the glass with a blade make sure there's no dust or stain on the surface.
2.7 Wipe the water off the surface of glass.
2.8 Spray some water-free alcohol on the surface of the glass or use a clean cloth contained alcohol to wipe the surface of glass and the frame.
2.9 Make sure that the glass surface is clean and free of water.
Step 3.Film Installation
3.1 Take the film and peel off the protective liner for 5 centimeter.
3.2 Align the film with glass and press the film on the glass slowly.Press the film to the surface of glass a few times slowly with a squeezer.
3.3 Caution: Don't spry water or detergent solution on the glass or film during installation of smart film.
3.4 Peel off the protective liner slowly for 3 to 5 centimeter each time and press the film with squeezer.
3.5 Squeeze the film step by step and make sure there's no bubble left between the film and glass.Repeat the action continuously until the film installed.
3.6 In case there's bubble or dirt between the film and glass peel off the film from glass and remove the dirt.
3.7 If the dirt is on the film adhesive side take a knife or other tool to pick up the dirt.If the dirt is on the glass wipe the glass with a clean cloth with alcohol.
3.8 After removal of dirt press the film on the glass and squeeze it on the glass.
3.9 Caution：The self-adhesive film could be peel off several times and the adhesive will still work.However we don't recommend it for more than 3 times.
3.10 If the self-adhesive film is too big you can cut the film with scissor or knife to the correct size.
3.11 Wipe the cutting edge with a clean cloth with water-free alcohol to avoid short-circuiting caused by rough edge.
3.12 Check the installed smart film in case the bubble or dirt spot peel off the part and reinstall it.
Step 4.Wiring and Sealant
4.1 Connect the bus-bars with wires and wrap the wire joints with insulating tape.
4.2 Use Eva hot melt sealant to fix the wires to the edges of frame and film as designed.
4.3 Peel off the protective liner from the outside of smart film.
4.4 In order to prevent water from entering the self-adhesive film from the edge it is necessary to apply sealant on the edge.GE381 silicone Weather-proofing sealant is our recommended edge sealant.
Step 5.Final Cleaning
5.1 Clean the surroundings and enjoy the smart film.

Smart glass works via electrical signal through activation of switches, sensors etc. Liquid crystal molecules turn to allow light to pass through and glass becomes transparent. It is opaque when not activated.
You can find PDLC glass in commercial and residential smart windows, consumer electronics and display cases for retail and museums, as well as in healthcare, hospitality and transportation.
