We supplies massive rolls intelligent film and custom size ones with bus-bars to the glass processed factories which are looking to produce your own switchable smart glass.
Self-adhesive smart film can be easily installed onto existing glass. Intelligent film is an ideal solution for both commercial and residential applications on budget.
Intelligent glass offers an instantly swift from transparent to opaque in various applications for privacy in offices, restaurants, hospitals, hotels and banks. The dimming glass are particularly popular for glass-walled or partitioned conference rooms in workspace or private homes based on open floor plans, or in hotel guestrooms where space is limited while privacy and elegance is required.
Safety & Security
The structure of PDLC privacy glass is like laminated safety glass. The film consist of PDLC formulation that is sealed between two panes of glass by interlayers (PVB or EVA). The intelligent glass prevents broken glass from scattering after a severe impact, keeping the window intact. The privacy glass meets safety glass standards and can be used in security and hurricane-resistant window applications.
Daylight control
Switchable privacy film is an active glass technology that switch the state with electricity for dynamic light control. The dimming film allows light to pass through for opacity or transparency by power on/off. By switching a window to its translucent state during peak sunlight, intelligent glass helps control interior room temperature and reduces the load on air conditioning systems, lowering energy costs.
Multifunctional
Smart glass is dynamic, allowing a traditionally static material to become multifunctional and alive. Intelligent glass can be integrated into windows, partitions and other transparent surfaces, including architecture, automotive, retail windows and electronics. Privacy film/glass can transform a space from open and shared, to private and intimate. PDLC switchable film/glass also performs as a projection screen or a white-board.
Where To Use Smart Film & Glass
Keep offices privacy when opaque particularly popular for glass-walled or partitioned conference rooms in workspace or private homes based on open floor plans, or in hotel guestrooms where space is limited while privacy and elegance is required.
Office
Installing at hotel shower room, the electrical privacy glass enhances delight joy of life and builds elegant romantic atmosphere for the guest.
Bathroom
Smart Film becomes transparent from an opaque state at the flick of a switch. By switching a window to its translucent state during peak sunlight,privacy switchable film helps control interior room temperature and reduces the load on air conditioning systems,lowering energy costs.
Windows
Smart film is an active glass technology that switch the state of glass with electricity for dynamic light control. Intelligent glass allows light to pass through for opacity or transparency and the switchable control of various forms of light.
Ceiling
Designed for priva, the smart film blocks the peek from outside and rescues your privacy and intimacycy.
Side-window for Auto
LC glass is an ideal choice for dynamic light control for automobile. Electric window film allows light to pass through for opacity or transparencyand the switchable control of various forms of light, providing anti-glare effect with low energy consumption.
Sunroof for Auto
The smart film works as display windows in retail boutiques when liquid crystal smart glass is in transparent state in day. Light control glass transforms to opaque state at the flick of switch to performs as a projection screen for almost any projected video or image at night.
Projection Screen
FAQ
What is smart glass comprised?

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.

How to make the busbars for smart film?
Tools:Dust-free cloth, Square resistance meter, Tape measure, Alcohol, Solder, Scissors, Film spliter, Copper foil, Tape, Brush, Silver paste, Marker pen, Squeegee, Electric soldering iron, Heat gun,Pins, Pliers
Step1: Film preparation.Lay the smart film on the glass table.
Step2: Mark busbars position.Measure and mark the position of the busbar according to the drawings on the side that busbar to be installed. The distance between the two busbars is 5-10cm and each busbar should be as long as possible.
Step3: Cut upper layer PET.Align the edge of the smart film with the glass, start from one end with the film splitter, and cut the upper layer of PET to the marked position.
Step4: Wipe off liquid crystal. Use a dust-free cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe off the liquid crystal exposed after cutting off the PET.
Note: Wipe gently, not only to remove all the liquid crystal , but also not to damage the conductive ITO.
Step5: Check ITO resistance. Use the square resistance meter to select at least 3 different points to measure the ITO after wiping, and the value should be less than 250 ohm, otherwise, the ITO may be damaged and thus the smart film may not work properly.
Step6: Apply tape. Stick the tape at a distance of 5-6mm from the edge of the film to cover the liquid crystal between the lower layer of ITO and the upper layer of PET, so as to prevent the silver paste from applying this gap and causing a short circuit.
Step7: Apply silver paste evenly to cleaned ITO.
Step8: Dry the silver paste with the heat gun. The heating temperature is about 70-100℃.
Step9: Tear off the tape pasted after heating.
Step10: Apply the copper foil carefully on the dried silver paste.
Step12: Cut off the excess part of the copper foil. In order to avoid the edges from lifting, the sharp corners of both the copper foil and the smart film are cut off.
Step13: Turn the smart film over and make another busbar according to the previous steps.
Step14: Pinning: use pliers to drive the pin into the connecting copper foil and smart film to make sure the copper foil stay with smart film.At least 2 pins for each busbars.
Step15: Solder the leads: Use a soldering iron to solder leads of the suitable length on the pin.
Step16: Power-on test: 1. Continuous power-on, power-off cycle 10 times; 2. Continuous power-on for 20 minutes. After test, check if there's any defect such as over heat and black spots.
Step17: Roll up the smart film for transport or storage.

How does smart glass/film works?
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.
