How Smart Film Works
Smart film uses PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology. When electricity is applied, the liquid crystals align to allow light through, making the glass transparent. When power is off, the crystals scatter randomly, creating an opaque, frosted appearance.
Power ON
Crystals align → Glass is clear and transparent
Power OFF
Crystals scatter → Glass is frosted and private
The transition happens in less than 100 milliseconds—faster than the blink of an eye.
Benefits of Smart Film Technology
Instant Privacy
Switch from transparent to opaque in milliseconds. Perfect for conference rooms, bathrooms, and private offices.
Energy Efficient
Reduce cooling costs by blocking solar heat when frosted. Smart film can cut energy consumption by up to 30%.
UV Protection
Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays in both clear and frosted states, protecting furnishings and skin.
Climate Control
Helps regulate indoor temperature by controlling solar heat gain through windows.
Glare Reduction
Eliminate harsh glare on screens and workspaces while maintaining natural light.
Security & Safety
The film layer adds shatter resistance to glass, providing an extra layer of protection.

Smart Film FAQ
How long does smart film last?
Quality smart film can last 10+ years with proper care. The film is rated for over 1 million switching cycles, meaning you can switch it on and off thousands of times per day without degradation.
Does smart film use a lot of electricity?
No! Smart film is very energy efficient, using only about 5-7 watts per square meter when in the transparent state. Many installations actually reduce overall energy costs through improved climate control.
Can smart film be controlled remotely?
Yes! Smart film can be integrated with home automation systems, controlled via smartphone apps, voice assistants, wall switches, or even motion sensors for hands-free operation.
Can you apply smart film to existing windows?
Absolutely! Smart film can be retrofitted to most existing glass surfaces. It adheres to the inside of the glass and requires only a small electrical connection. No need to replace your windows.
