What is switchable smart glass technology?

Our switchable smart glass technology LCG® (light control glass), allows smart window to change from transparent to varying degrees of opaque on demand for privacy, custom shading, solar control, and transparent displays in the spaces where you spend your time most. Complete privacy or transparency when you need and want it most

What is solar switchable glass?

Another notable technology in the realm of switchable glass is the suspended particle device (SPD) technology. SPD solar switchable glass incorporates suspended particles within a film, which can be manipulated to adjust the glass’s opacity. The glass has a bluish-black tint making it ideal for automotive and exterior applications.

How does switchable glass work?

Some types of switchable glass are sensitive to light. Photochromic, in well-lit conditions they become opaque and turn transparent in low-light settings. In specific cases, switchable glass responds to temperature changes. When heated, it becomes translucent or transparent, making it helpful in managing solar heat gain.

What is photovoltaic smart glass?

Photovoltaic glass, also known as solar glass or transparent solar panels, is a type of smart glass that uses embedded photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity to generate electricity.
