Product Overview
The Smart PDLC Film Series sold by Westglass is an innovative liquid crystal-based material that enables instant switching of light transmittance via electric current, redefining the intelligent balance between spatial privacy and lighting effects. At its core, the liquid crystal polymer is sandwiched between transparent conductive films:
• Unpowered: Liquid crystal molecules arrange randomly, resulting in < 5% transmittance and a uniform milky frosted state.
• Powered: Molecules align orderly under current, achieving transmittance of 83%/86%/89%/91% (model-dependent) for near-instant clarity.
Combining "privacy protection, energy efficiency, and aesthetic design," it’s ideal for architectural curtain walls, residential partitions, automotive sunroofs, and commercial displays.

• Laser Cutting: Supports complex shapes (arcs, polygons) for bespoke designs.
• Rigorous Quality Control: Three-layer inspection: 100% roll material testing, oven durability checks, and sheet power-aging trials.
• Expedited Shipping: Custom orders ship in 3 business days; standard sizes in 1 business day.
Core Advantages
-
Intelligent Dimming for Effortless Control
• Multi-Mode Operation: Works with physical switches, remotes, mobile apps, and smart home systems for one-touch switching between transparent (83%–91% transmittance) and frosted (< 5% transmittance) states.
• Ultra-Fast Response: Switching speed < 200ms, perfect for quick transitions in conference privacy, projection displays, and more.
-
Energy Efficiency & Long-Term Protection
• 99% UV Blocking: Frosted state shields indoor furniture and art from UV aging, extending their lifespan.
• Thermal Management: Reduces glass heat exchange by 30%, cutting air conditioning costs and meeting LEED green building standards.
-
Ultra-Thin Flexibility for Universal Fit
• Curved & Irregular Glass Compatibility: Flexible substrate adheres to domes, sunroofs, and complex structures without compromising space.
• Hidden Electrode Design: Edge electrodes are discreet, merging aesthetics with functionality.
-
Safety, Durability, & Reliability
• Laminated Explosion Resistance: 200% higher impact resistance; fragments stay bonded to the film upon breakage, eliminating splash risks.
• Long Lifespan: Over 100,000 switching cycles with no performance degradation, zero electromagnetic radiation.
Typical Applications
-
Commercial & Office
• Smart Partitions: One-touch frosting for conference room privacy.
• Projection Integration: Frosted state as a HD projection screen for multi-functional spaces.
-
Residential
• Bathroom Windows: Powered transparency for light, unpowered frost for privacy.
• Living Room Curtain Walls: Sync with smart homes to adjust lighting ambiance.
-
Transportation
• Car Sunroofs: Frost to block sunlight by day, clear for stargazing at night.
• Airplane Windows: Replaces traditional shades for enhanced passenger comfort.
-
Innovative Displays
• Transparent Ads: Dynamic projections in frosted state, product display in transparent state for storefronts.
• AR Interactive Windows: Combines touch technology for immersive commercial experiences.
Usage Notes
-
Professional Installation:
Must be applied by certified technicians on clean, scratch-free glass surfaces.
-
Environmental Requirements:
Outdoor use requires pressure and sealing assessment; irregular glass (cracked, warped) is not supported.
-
Maintenance:
Wipe with a soft cloth; avoid sharp objects or corrosive cleaners.
-
Safety Feature:
Defaults to frosted state when unpowered for continuous privacy protection.
