STC Smart Window Films
PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) films commonly known as smart films, consist of a layer of liquid crystal molecules dispersed in a polymer matrix that is sandwiched between two transparent conductive layers. When an electric current is applied to the conductive layers, the liquid crystal molecules align and allow light to pass through, making the film transparent. When the current is switched off, the molecules return to their original disordered state, making the film opaque.
PDLC films are used in a variety of applications, including office partitions, conference rooms, privacy windows, and projection screens. They offer many benefits, such as enhanced privacy, improved energy efficiency, and UV protection. Additionally, they are a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional glass partitions or walls, as they can be easily retrofitted to existing windows or surfaces.
Overall, PDLC films or smart films are an innovative and useful technology that can provide privacy and security solutions to various applications.
Smart films have revolutionized the way we use glass surfaces in our buildings, from providing instant privacy to improving energy efficiency. The latest generation of smart films, EPC (Electrochromic Polymer) and EC (Electrochromic) films, offer even more advanced features and benefits.
EPC and EC films use electrochromic materials to change the color and transparency of the film in response to an electrical voltage or current. These films require less power to switch between opaque and transparent states than previous smart film technologies, making them more energy-efficient. They also offer faster switching times, better color stability, and a wider range of color options.
One of the advantages of EPC and EC films is that they can be integrated into building automation systems and controlled through smartphones or voice assistants, providing convenient and seamless control over the glass surface. They can also be used in skylights, providing an excellent way to control the amount of natural light entering a building while also maintaining privacy and energy efficiency.
In addition to providing privacy and energy efficiency, EPC and EC films can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space. They come in a range of colors and textures, and their ability to change color and transparency means they can be used creatively in design applications.
Overall, EPC and EC films are a promising new technology that offers numerous benefits over traditional smart film technologies. They provide a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to control the amount of light entering a building while also enhancing privacy, security, and aesthetics. If you’re looking for a smart film solution for your building, EPC and EC films are an excellent choice. Currently being supplied to OE manufacturers and for project collaboration.
