What is Switchable Film?
The switchable film is also called Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal(PDLC).
Switchable smart film with PDLC technology can be named and referred to in very different ways: smart glass film, smart film, PDLC film, switchable smart film and others. It is a technology that we could call “magic” because it’s there but you can't see it, or rather, you can only see it when you want to, at the mere touch of a button.
It is a new way of managing light and space that can be shaped according to individual needs for design and privacy: a tool that enables glass to become intelligent, gaining popularity in the architectural world for the realization of new projects and renovation of homes and offices, where glass becomes an essential element of space management.
Switchable film is an electronically controlled film which becomes transparent from a opaque state at the flick of a switch.
When the powe is applied, the liquid crystal molecules line up and the incident light passes throug,the smart film becomes transparent from an opaque state. On the other hand, when the power is off, the liquid crystal molecules are randomly oriented so that light is scattered, results in opaque state.
The switchable film provides a next generation alternative to blinds or privacy in daily life . It is the ideal choice for commercial or residential installations.

PDLC film is a unique material that is made up of PDLC polymer. It is a type of smart glass that can be used in a variety of applications. When an electric current is applied, the PDLC particles align and the glass becomes clear. When the current is removed, the PDLC particles return to their original position and the glass becomes opaque again. This unique property makes PDLC film popular for use in privacy windows, display cases, and other applications where light control is desired. In addition, PDLC film is durable and easy to maintain, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications.
