Custom Patterned Smart Tinting Glass from China Factory - Leading Suppliers of Electrochromic Glazing Solutions
Product Parameters
Introduction
PDLC (Polymer - Dispersed Liquid Crystal)
Offers instant switching (within milliseconds), high contrast between clear and opaque states, but slightly higher power consumption.
Electrochromic
Gradually changes tint levels with low power usage, suitable for applications requiring precise light control.
Suspended Particle
Fast - switching and provides a darker opaque state, ideal for privacy - intensive areas.
🔆 Transparency Range:
Clear state with up to 80% visible light transmittance (VLT); opaque state reducing VLT to 1 - 5%.
⏱️ Response Time:
PDLC glass switches in <10 milliseconds; electrochromic glass may take 1 - 5 minutes for full transition.
🔌 Power Consumption:
PDLC glass typically consumes 3 - 5 W/m² when activated; electrochromic glass consumes minimal standby power (0.1 - 0.5 W/m²).
📏 Thickness:
Available in single - layer (3 - 6mm) or double - layer (10 - 20mm) configurations for enhanced insulation and safety.
📐 Size Range:
Standard sizes up to 240cm x 360cm, with custom sizing available for large - scale projects.
⚡ Operating Voltage:
Usually 12V - 24V DC for PDLC glass; electrochromic glass may operate at 3 - 5V DC.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between PDLC and Electrochromic technology?
PDLC offers near-instant switching (milliseconds) and is primarily used for privacy, while Electrochromic glass changes tint gradually (minutes) and is ideal for solar heat control and energy efficiency.
How fast does Smart Tinting Glass respond?
Response times vary by technology: PDLC glass switches in less than 10 milliseconds, whereas Electrochromic glass can take between 1 to 5 minutes for a full transition.
What are the power requirements for operating smart glass?
PDLC glass typically operates on 12V-24V DC and consumes 3-5 W/m². Electrochromic glass is more energy-efficient for large areas, requiring only 3-5V DC with minimal standby power consumption.
What is the maximum size available for smart glass panels?
Standard panels are available up to 240cm x 360cm. However, custom sizing can be manufactured to meet the specific requirements of large-scale architectural projects.
Can the transparency levels be adjusted?
Yes, smart glass can range from a clear state with up to 80% Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) to an opaque state where VLT is reduced to as low as 1-5%, providing excellent light control.
Is smart glass available in different thicknesses?
Yes, it comes in single-layer configurations (3-6mm) or double-layer configurations (10-20mm), which offer improved thermal insulation and structural safety.
