Smart Glazing Digital Curtain

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.

Privacy on-YOUR-demand

Light transmission can typically vary from 35% down to <1% for Wonderlite® glass.
Light transmission is typically varying for Wonderlite Dx® glass as consequence of the curtain effect from 7% down to 1% in a roof application or from 20% down to 3% in a sidelite application.
Many other contrast values are possible to be customized as you wish, depending on the expected applications.
