Electronically controlled glass, also known as smart dimming glass, is an emerging product brought about by our continuous progress in science and technology. Its composition is mainly to add a layer of high-tech liquid crystal film between two layers of glass, so that the glass has higher shock resistance and sturdiness. At the same time, it also has a color-changing function, which greatly enriches our lives and protects our privacy. Because it is still an emerging high-end product, many people know little about its principles and performance. This article will introduce it to you.
Working principle
Smart dimming glass uses the existing dry laminated glass production process to firmly bond the dimming film to two pieces of ordinary float glass through an interlayer film. composed between.
Due to the laminated glass production process, the smart dimming glass has the characteristics of "transparent when powered on, opaque when powered off" and various characteristics of laminated glass. Transparent when powered on, opaque when powered off: This feature is mainly due to the "electro-optical effect" of the liquid crystal in the dimming film. To put it more specifically, there is a kind of liquid crystal molecule (PDLC). When no electricity is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are scattered and become frosted; when electricity is applied, the liquid crystal molecules will instantly line up in a line, and the state will change instantaneously. Transparent. This is the magic of dimmable glass.
Dimmable glass is now used in many fields, and it can be said that it has entered our lives to a large extent.
Performance
Safety performance: The film in the smart dimming glass firmly bonds the glass, so that when the smart dimming glass is shattered by impact, the glass fragments will stick to the film in the middle. There will be no flying glass fragments to injure people.
Energy-saving performance: The dimming film and film in the middle of the smart dimming glass can block more than 90% of infrared rays and more than 99% of ultraviolet rays. Shielding infrared rays can reduce heat radiation and transmission; shielding ultraviolet rays can protect indoor furnishings from fading and aging due to ultraviolet radiation, and protect personnel from diseases caused by direct ultraviolet radiation.
Sound insulation performance: The dimming film and film in the middle of the smart dimming glass have a sound damping effect and can effectively block all types of noise. ?To put it simply, if you own such a piece of glass, you can freely change the transparency and adjust the performance according to the occasion, mood, and functional needs.
Through the above introduction, we have a general understanding of the principle and performance of electronically controlled glass. From this we can see that the dimming effect of electronically controlled glass mainly comes from the liquid crystal in the dimming film, which can change the overall color and transparency of the glass when electricity is applied. This structure gives it many excellent properties, such as safety, energy saving and sound insulation. It is believed that as people's living standards improve day by day, electronically controlled glass will enter more into the lives of ordinary people and become more and more popular.
