What is smart glass/film?
Smart glass/film is a switchable light control glass that turns a transparent glass to opaque instantaneously and vice versa.
The liquid crystals change their refractive index in relation to the isotropically transparent polymer in which they are immersed, thereby creating multiple step boundaries throughout the PDLC.
It is this change in refractive index at each boundary which causes light to change course. Since the PDLC material contains millions of liquid crystals, each with a boundary facing a slightly different way, the light is scattered in many directions.
The net effect is to hide whatever is behind the PDLC smart glass.

Smart Sunroof Kit Installation Guide
1. Preparation
Move the front seats forward and fold down the rear seats to create sufficient workspace.
Clean both the interior and exterior surfaces of the sunroof thoroughly, then wipe dry.
2. Installation Steps
Step 1: Power Connection
Insert the kit’s power cable into the power outlet located in the trunk.
Remove the rubber trim above the trunk, thread a fish tape (wire guide) through the interior panel, and attach the power cable to the fish tape.
Pull the fish tape to route the power cable through the panel, then remove the fish tape.
Step 2: Bracket Assembly
Remove Bracket 1# from the rear of the kit.
Insert the black Z-shaped supports into both ends of Bracket 1#.
Note: Keep the right direction of the threaded holes on Bracket 1# and Z-shaped supports.
Secure the flat plate support to Bracket 2# (front of the kit) using screws.
Note: The sloped side of the flat plate support must face toward Bracket 2#.
Step 3: Positioning the Kit
Install Bracket 1# beneath the sunroof glass, ensuring the pointed ends of the Z-shaped supports face the front of the vehicle.
Carefully maneuver the kit into the cabin through the trunk, ensuring:
Brackets face upward.
The end with Bracket 2# points toward the front of the vehicle.
Avoid scratching interior trim during placement.
Step 4: Mounting the Kit
Peel off the protective film from the bracket-side of the kit.
Lift the kit gently and insert the flat plate support on Bracket 2# into the gap beneath the sunroof glass.
Connect the cable to the kit.
Align the screw holes on the kit with those on Bracket 1#, then secure with screws. Install decorative caps over the screws.
Peel off the protective film from the underside of the kit.
Step 5: Cable Management
Tuck excess wiring under the trunk’s rubber trim for a clean finish.
3. Final Checks & Testing
Verify all connections and bracket alignments.
Power on the kit and test dimming functionality.
Restore seats to their original positions.
Note:
Use only soft tools (e.g., nylon pry tools) to avoid interior damage.
Ensure threaded holes and connectors are fully engaged before tightening screws.

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.
Warranty period is 2 years from date of installation. The life time of the film/glass is up to 10 years depends on varies working environment.
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.
