Switchable Glass
Switchable Glass or Privacy Glass allows instant privacy at the flick of a switch. When a 65V AC electrical current is passed through the glass it instantly changes from opaque to translucent. When the power is removed from the glass it instantly changes back to an opaque state
Switchable Glass is a robust product that is manufactured using 2 pieces of glass (normally Toughened) with a liquid crystal film and EVA bonding materials between the glass which is then laminated at precise temperatures to produce a switchable privacy safety glass product. It is the LC Film within the glass that provides either the opaque privacy (no power) or translucent (power applied) condition. A power conditioner is used to keep the input power at a constant regulated voltage.
