Which sectors are using PDLC glass?

Are the only states of PDLC just ON and OFF?

No, the transmittance (level of transparency) of the PDLC can be varied from 0% in the OFF state up to any value you want until you reach the maximum transmittance (normally 70% or 80%). This is done by simply altering the voltage from 0 VAC up to 70VAC, which is typically the maximum recommended voltage. This can be done electrically with a variable isolating transformer, or electronically with a switched-mode smart glass dimmer.

What are the major reasons for using PDLC smart glass?

Enhanced security (since the glass is shatter-proof thanks to the internal plastic lamination)
Privacy (thanks to the scattering of light, essentially hiding whatever is behind the smart glass)
Glare reduction (again thanks to the scattering effect)
Reduction of the carbon footprint of the building thanks to the solar control, which reduces HVAC needs, both in summer and in winter
Reduced colour fading of interior furnishings and artworks, thanks to the rejection of UV
Creative marketing, since when the PDLC smart glass is off, the scattering effect creates a screen upon which you can project images.

How much light does PDLC glass transmit?

When not connected to a voltage, typically the transmittance can be as low as 2%. When connected to a voltage, it can be up to 80%, but this maximum value varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Can smart glass/film be used in wet areas?

Yes, smart glass/film can be used in wet areas such as bathrooms. The edges of smart glass/film are are sealed with a non-acid silicone gel that prevent any contact with water.

How to make smart glass?

How to make smart glass?
Step1. Wash and clean the glass.
Step2. Move the glass to the cleanroom for lamination.
Step3. Check the lower glass and clean possible stains.
Step4. Lay the pre-cut EVA interlayer on the lower glass.
Step5. Lay the PDLC film with busbars onto the EVA interlayer. During the process, the lower protective liner is removed. Then remove the upper protective liner. Note: Do not leave fingerprints or stains on the PDLC film.
Step6. Carefully adjust the position of the PDLC to align with the glass.
Step7. Lay out and align the upper layer of EVA interlayer.
Step8. Check and place the upper glass, carefully adjust the position of the glass to align with the lower glass.
Step9. Check the glass carefully to remove possible dirty spots and stains inside the glass.
Step10. Cut off the EVA interlayer to align with the glass.
Step11. Fix the busbars leads with high temperature tape, and wrap the glass edge with high temperature tape.
Step12. Move the glass to the next operating table.
Step13. Wrap the whole piece of glass in PET film.
Step14. Bond the PET film with silicone sealant strips to form a vacuum bag.
Step15. Set the vacuum port.
Step16. Pump the vacuum bag. Fold and firm the sides of the vacuum bag with high temperature tape.
Step17. During the pumping process, check whether the vacuum bag is leaking. After the pumping is complete, disconnect the pumping pipe.
Step18. Move the glass to the heating platform, connect the glass vacuum port to the vacuum system of the heating oven or autoclave, transfer the glass to the heating oven or autoclave, and heat the glass.
Step19. Heating. parameter settings.
Step20. After heating, remove the glass from the heating oven or autoclave. To pack and store.
