Privacy Smartglass benefits

Privacy Smartglass™ allows instant privacy at the flick of a switch. When an AC electrical current is passed through the glass it instantly changes from opaque to translucent. When the power is removed from the glass it instantly changes back to an opaque state. 

Two layers of glass encapsulate a liquid crystal film between layers of EVA. It is this film which provides the opaque and translucent conditions of the glass. When provided with a voltage set by a supplied power conditioner this film makes the change in transmission.
