Custom Patterned Smart Tinting Glass from China Suppliers – Innovative Electrochromic Facade Solutions
Product Parameters
Introduction⚙️
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 primary benefit of PDLC technology?
PDLC technology offers nearly instantaneous switching (under 10ms) between transparent and opaque states, providing immediate privacy and high contrast.
How does Electrochromic glass differ from PDLC?
Unlike PDLC's instant switch, Electrochromic glass tints gradually (1-5 minutes). It is highly energy-efficient and allows for multiple tint levels rather than just on/off states.
Is Smart Tinting Glass energy efficient?
Yes. While PDLC uses 3-5 W/m² when active, Electrochromic glass uses very low power (0.1-0.5 W/m²) to maintain its state, helping reduce HVAC costs by controlling solar heat gain.
What are the maximum dimensions available?
Standard sizes are available up to 240cm x 360cm. However, custom sizing can be manufactured to fit specific requirements for large-scale architectural projects.
What thickness options are available for installation?
We offer single-layer options ranging from 3-6mm for lightweight needs, and double-layer configurations from 10-20mm for superior insulation and safety.
What voltage is required to operate the glass?
PDLC glass typically operates on 12V to 24V DC, while Electrochromic glass systems generally require a lower voltage of 3V to 5V DC.
