02 · Technology

A liquid-crystal film, laminated between two panes of glass. One signal, and the world clarifies.

FIG. 02 · MOLECULAR ALIGNMENT
01

Power off

Liquid-crystal microdroplets sit randomly, scattering light. The pane reads as soft frost — privacy without curtains.

02

Apply 48VAC

An imperceptible current aligns the crystals along one axis. Light passes through unobstructed.

03

Clear in 0.1s

The transition is instant and seamless. No moving parts. No mechanical wear. Just glass that responds.

04

Lifetime

Engineered for 50,000+ switching hours. Cleans like any other pane. Operates from −20°C to +90°C.
