How Smart Glass Works

Smart glass technology is an active glass technology that switches opacity states with electricity. The unique particles or molecules inside our films scatter or align as films are turned on and off, allowing for opacity or transparency.

LCG® Smart Glass Film Types

Gauzy manufactures two different kinds of films: one for lamination and one for retrofitting onto existing glass. PDLC technology is available as as a laminated smart glass or adhesive smart film. 

Laminated Smart Glass

FAQ

Questions and Answers

In the clear, or ON state, an electrical current is passed through a layer of film called PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal). The electrified state causes microscopic crystals to align along a number of parallel axes, thus allowing vision through the glass.

Smart Glass in its OFF state has a frosted or opaque appearance because the PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) remain in a randomized configuration that refracts the light that enters the mixture.

Haze factor describes the amount of light scattered when light passes through a transparent sample. The lower the haze factor value, the higher the clarity of the sample, indicating fewer impurities.

Gauzy’s has a ultra low haze: avg. 2.5%. This is the best in the industry.

PDLC is an initialism for Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal.

Laminated LCG® smart glass is produced by sealing a sheet of PDLC film between two panes of glass by a glass fabricator or glass processor. A glazier or glass installer then installs the glass, and an electrician connects it to a power source. 

Laminated smart glass is more durable because the film is protected from the elements. Laminated Smart glass is cleaned just like regular glass with standard products from both sides making it easy to clean, disinfect and sterilize.

Adhesive smart film is also known as retrofit film. Standard glass can be converted into smart glass with Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) adhesive smart films, which are designed to be applied to existing, already installed glass, for an instant upgrade. Instead of laminating the film between two pieces of glass, adhesive smart films have one side that is sticky, for adhesion onto glass. The other side has a scratch proof coating for some extra protection since the film is not protected from both sides.

Switchable smart glass can block 99% of all UV rays.

No. We have a network of professional installers that we’ve partnered with for smart glass and film installation.
