Custom Patterned Smart Tinting Glass from China Suppliers - Innovative Electrochromic Glass Façade Factory
Introduction
Product Parameters
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 are the primary technology types for smart tinting glass?
The main technology types are PDLC (Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal), Electrochromic, and Suspended Particle. PDLC offers instant switching, Electrochromic features gradual tinting with low power use, and Suspended Particle provides fast switching with a darker opaque state.
How fast does smart tinting glass switch states?
PDLC glass switches instantly in less than 10 milliseconds. Electrochromic glass operates more gradually, taking between 1 to 5 minutes to complete a full transition.
What is the transparency and light transmission range?
In its clear state, the glass allows up to 80% Visible Light Transmittance (VLT). In its opaque state, the VLT is significantly reduced to between 1% and 5% for maximum privacy.
How much power does smart glass consume?
PDLC glass typically consumes 3 to 5 W/m² when activated. Electrochromic glass is highly efficient, consuming minimal standby power of only 0.1 to 0.5 W/m².
What are the available thickness and size options?
It is available in single-layer configurations from 3mm to 6mm, or double-layer configurations from 10mm to 20mm. The standard size is up to 240cm x 360cm, with custom sizes available for larger projects.
What operating voltage is required?
PDLC glass generally operates on a 12V to 24V DC power supply, whereas electrochromic glass typically functions at a lower voltage range of 3V to 5V DC.
