Custom Patterned Smart Tinting Glass from China Suppliers and Factory – Innovative Electrochromic Solutions for Modern Design
Introduction
Product Parameters
⚡
Technology Type: 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 difference between PDLC and Electrochromic technology?
PDLC offers instant switching for privacy, while Electrochromic glass provides gradual tinting for solar heat control and energy efficiency.
How fast does the glass switch from clear to opaque?
PDLC glass is extremely fast, switching in less than 10 milliseconds. Electrochromic glass is slower, taking between 1 to 5 minutes depending on the size.
Is smart glass energy efficient?
Yes, especially Electrochromic glass which uses minimal power to maintain its state. PDLC uses slightly more but still remains an efficient solution for modern buildings.
Can I get custom sizes for my project?
Absolutely. While standard sizes go up to 240cm x 360cm, custom dimensions and shapes can be manufactured to fit specific architectural requirements.
What is the typical thickness of smart glass?
It ranges from single-layer options (3-6mm) to double-layer insulated units (10-20mm) designed for better safety and soundproofing.
What voltage is required to operate the glass?
PDLC glass generally operates on 12V to 24V DC, while Electrochromic systems often run on lower voltages between 3V to 5V DC.
