What is the power consumption of smart glass/film?
Smart glass/film consumes less than 5W/sqm.
Can smart glass be used in outdoor applications?
Yes, smart glass can be installed in outdoor areas as normal laminated glass.
Does PDLC smart glass conduct electricity?
No, the internal PDLC layer is plastic and does not conduct electricity, since it is electrically insulated. Rather, it behaves more like a capacitor, where the applied signal alternates between positive and negative voltages at the plates of the capacitor, causing an alternating electric field throughout the PDLC dielectric, which is what aligns the liquid crystals with the frequency of the signal (normally 50 Hz or 60 Hz).
How long time does smart glass/film change from opaque to transparent?
Smart glass/film change in 1/100 second from opaque to transparent and 1/10 second from transparent to opaque.
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.
