Variable transparency glass (smart glass) is an innovative material with a variable transparency function designed to instantly create privacy and zoning space. A liquid crystal film is placed between two layers of glass. In the off mode, liquid crystals scatter light, the surface remains matte, completely opaque. When power is applied, the crystals change their position, and the smart glass becomes transparent. Moreover, in both modes, the amount of transmitted light remains almost unchanged. The opaque glass surface with adjustable transparency does not darken the space.
he main distinguishing and exceptional properties of glass with variable transparency are:
- Matte surface off, transparent - when connected to the network.
- The shortest transition time from one mode to another is less than one second.
- The surface area is not limited - on the basis of Smart-glass you can build any, even the most impressive and monumental structures.
- High strength due to the special structure of the triplex also contributes to the reliability and safety of large surfaces.
- Power consumption is from 4 W / m2.
- The maximum dimensions of smart glass without film joints are 1800 x 6000 mm.
- Alternating voltage from 24 to 110 Volts through a step-down transformer.
- Long service life: 25 years more than 7,000,000 on / off cycles
Using this truly revolutionary material will instantly transfer your office, apartment or country house into the big leagues - only people with exquisite taste and knowledge of modern technologies use the most advanced inventions of science and production in interiors.

Smart-glass in projection installations
Using Smart-glass as a rear projection screen is a unique feature that opens up unlimited possibilities in the field of advertising. When projecting an image onto a smart glass, a picture of the highest resolution is displayed on the other side of the surface.
Thus, Smart-glass can be actively used in window dressing of shops, car dealerships, restaurants, night clubs and other institutions. During the day, glass acts as a transparent display case, and in the dark turns into a spectacular screen that transmits any image.
