Privacy switchable glass – how switchable glass works?

SmartGlass is currently used in partition screens, windows, roof-lights and doors, projection screens, security & teller screens but as architects and designers explore the boundaries and turn conventional perspectives of glass on their head it is expected that the markets will continue to grow and expand into new and innovative uses.

Privacy Switchable Glass by Smartglass when switched “On” allows 76% light transmission & when switched “Off” allows 67%.
