Glossary of PDLC Smart Film Terms

PDLC: Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal: A cutting-edge material that can seamlessly transition between transparent and opaque states.
Smart Film: A revolutionary technology that offers unparalleled versatility and functionality.

Liquid Crystal: The heart of PDLC technology, these molecules align and realign in response to electrical signals.
Polymer Matrix: A sturdy framework that holds the liquid crystal molecules in place.
Electrodes: The power behind the transformation, these conductive layers enable the magic of PDLC.

Transparent State: When relaxed, the liquid crystal molecules are scattered, allowing light to pass through freely.
Opaque State: A voltage applied to the electrodes aligns the molecules, blocking light and creating a private, opaque surface.

Privacy Glass: Instantly transform windows, doors, and partitions for privacy on demand.
Solar Control: Reduce heat gain and glare, creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment.
Projection Screens: Deliver stunning visuals with high-contrast projection surfaces.
Architectural Glass: Add a touch of innovation and functionality to any building design.
Automotive Glass: Enhance privacy and comfort in vehicles with customizable transparency.

Contrast Ratio: The measure of how clearly the PDLC film switches between transparent and opaque states.
Optical Density: The ability of the film to block light when in the opaque state.
Switching Voltage: The electrical power required to initiate the transformation.
Viewing Angle: The range of angles from which the film can be viewed without distortion.
Durability: The film's resistance to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance.
