Smart glass

Description

Smart glass, also known as intelligent glass or switchable glass, is a revolutionary material that utilizes liquid crystal technology to transform its transparency in response to an electrical current. In less than two-tenths of a second, these glasses can seamlessly transition between clear and opaque states, offering a multitude of benefits for various applications. Smart glass provides instant privacy by switching from transparent to opaque in a split second. This feature is particularly valuable for office spaces, conference rooms, bathrooms, and healthcare settings.

Key Features of Smart Glass:

• Smart glass effectively blocks up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation, protecting occupants from the damaging effects of these rays.

• These glasses are used as screen or back projection and have the ability to display HD quality images.
• Smart glasses are very energy efficient and save more than 30% of energy by allowing natural light to pass through.
• This product creates privacy in the shortest time. The operating speed of these glasses is 2 tenths of a second, and after the power cut, they become opaque instantly. This feature can be controlled by fixed keys, control and smart home systems.

• Smart glass can serve as a projection screen, whiteboard, or interactive display, enhancing communication and collaboration in various environments.

• Smart glass can be customized with patterns, logos, or other designs, adding a unique aesthetic touch to any space.

• Smart glass is suitable for use in humid environments like swimming pools and shower enclosures, withstanding moisture without compromising performance.

How the smart glass works

PDLC and SPD smart glass technology is an active glass technology that switches state with electricity. In a simple way, these glasses change the light transmission rate with the help of smart (and generally transparent) materials. By connecting the electric current to the glass, the particles of the material between its layers become regular and let the light pass through them, and as soon as the electricity is cut off, they return to an irregular state and the glass becomes opaque. These glasses create the ability to control all kinds of rays such as visible light, UV, IR, etc.

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal technology (PDLC)

Smart glass technology is divided into PDLC, SPD and electrochromic categories. Unlike transformers, which can only change the glass from clear to opaque, controllers can use dimmers to gradually change the voltage and control the light to varying degrees.
Replaceable smart glass with PDLC technology is one of the most common types of smart glass and the glasses produced with this technology have a wide variety of designs and colors. Also, this technology was used both for the glasses that already exist, the glasses in the environment and the glasses that are produced intelligently from the factory. The degree of opaqueness or transparency of this product can be adjusted in different degrees. This class of smart glass is a very suitable option for turning windows into boards, display screens and industrial uses, because it does not pass the rays of light and therefore does not reflect heat, and there is also a large variety of models. There are its

All kinds of smart glasses

Smart glasses are currently gaining a lot of popularity due to their unique capabilities. Smart glasses are divided into different categories and models according to the needs and goals of the consumer, and each of these has unique capabilities and features. In the following, we will examine their types and the capabilities of each.

Patterned smart glass

One of the unique features of this model is that customers can put a design, logo or slogan or any other role on it and display it whenever needed and when there is no need for such. If there are no plans, it is possible to simply delete them. Also, this product is about 2 mm thick, and unlike false walls that are 12 mm thick, they do not occupy much space.

Smart laminated glass

Old glasses were sensitive to moisture and moisture had a negative effect on its performance. If there is an intention to use smart glass for humid environments such as bathrooms or swimming pools, the best option will be for this model, which is not affected by humidity. Consumers can change this glass from opaque to transparent at any time, or vice versa, which gives the user complete control over the desired environment.

Smart talc with adhesive back

The most important feature of this talc is that you don’t need to change the glass and it can be easily installed on the previous glass. As you know, the more light there is in the room and the more sunlight we get, the bigger and more attractive our room looks. This style of glass allows sunlight to pass through and at the same time does not allow heat to enter your space and heat up your room. Also, due to its thickness, it makes your space look bigger and does not occupy a special space.

Applications of smart glass

Car design engineers, decoration designers, architects, etc. use smart glass in the design of different spaces that have their own uses.
Office spaces: Smart glass in office partitions, in addition to creating an intimate and interactive space, increases your work class and makes the work environment attractive. It also eliminates many additional costs and equipment that clutter the workspace.
Hotels: The efficiency of smart glass is such that it can create a private and yet intimate environment in hotel rooms. These glasses are used in bathrooms, lobbies, etc., and guests can create their own privacy with a key.
