Smart Glazing Digital Curtain^™

Wonderful light, Shading and privacy on demand

What is Digital Curtain^™?

A thin laminated film of rod-like nano-scale particles suspended in a liquid layer is sandwiched between two glass sheets which are laminated together. When switched OFF, the glass is either dark (Wonderlite^®) or opaque (Wonderlite^® Dx). By applying a voltage, the suspended particles align in the same direction and the glass becomes transparent, letting light pass.
