How PDLC Smart Film Works
Discover the technology behind privacy control at the touch of a button
PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) is a revolutionary technology that enables switching between transparent and frosted glass with a simple command. The technology is used globally in offices, hotels, healthcare and residential buildings.

Instant Transformation
With advanced PDLC technology (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal), the film switches between frosted and transparent in less than 0.1 seconds. Extremely energy efficient with only 3-5 W/m² in transparent mode.
Perfect for conference rooms, hotel bathrooms, balconies or anywhere you need flexible privacy at the push of a button.
Operates -20°C to +60°C
How Does PDLC Technology Work?
OFFFrosted State (OFF)
When no electricity is applied, the liquid crystal molecules in the film's micro-droplets are randomly arranged. Light is scattered (diffused) by the molecules repeatedly, preventing image reconstruction - the film becomes frosted and blocks direct view. Outlines and silhouettes may be visible if someone stands close to the glass or in strong backlight.
ONTransparent State (ON)
When an electric field (60 V AC) is applied, the liquid crystal molecules arrange in a structured pattern. Light can now pass through the film undisturbed without deflection, making the film see-through. A slight haze remains, most visible in angled light or from the side.

How the Technology Works
PDLC smart film explained step by step
PDLC Technology
The film consists of liquid crystals embedded in polymer.
When Power is Off
Crystals scatter light → glass becomes frosted and opaque.
When Power is On
Crystals align → light passes freely → glass becomes clear.
