Smart film, a high-tech material, has gained widespread application in modern buildings and decorative design. Through intelligent control, smart film offers remarkable benefits in privacy protection, safety, energy efficiency, thermal insulation, soundproofing, and more. In this blog, we will explore the multiple functionalities and applications of smart film, with a particular focus on the Opposite PDLC Self-Adhesive Film, which incorporates innovative technology.
1. Privacy Protection
One of the standout features of smart film is its ability to provide privacy protection. When the smart film is in the "off" state, its transparency is as high as 86%, and the haze is only 4%. This ensures privacy for the space. When the power is turned on, the haze increases to over 90%, providing optimal privacy protection and preventing external visibility. This makes it ideal for offices, meeting rooms, or homes where privacy is a concern.
2. Safety Explosion-Proof
Smart film uses a composite adhesive technology that provides excellent bonding strength. Even in the event of glass breakage, the film prevents shards from splashing, reducing the risk of injury. This explosion-proof feature has been patented (Patent No. CN201820786201.2) and is particularly valuable in environments where safety is a priority, such as high-rise buildings and commercial spaces.
3. Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection
Smart film is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solution. When powered on, it remains transparent, and when powered off, it transitions into a frosted state. This low-power consumption film helps reduce energy waste during daily use. Furthermore, installing smart films can minimize waste during decoration and reduce environmental pollution, making it a sustainable option for modern buildings.
4. Back Projection Imaging Carrier
Smart film also serves as a back projection imaging carrier. When images are projected onto the smart film, it allows for clear viewing of movie and TV scenes or serves as an unobstructed advertising display surface. This functionality is ideal for shopping malls, conference rooms, theaters, and other public spaces where clear visual displays are required.
5. Thermal Insulation and UV Protection
Smart film offers excellent thermal insulation and UV protection, blocking up to 99.9% of ultraviolet rays and 80% of infrared rays. This helps to reduce indoor temperatures and protects furniture from UV damage. Moreover, the film's thermal insulation and UV protection technologies are patented (Patent No. CN201520586613.8), making it a highly effective solution for energy-saving and comfort in buildings.
6. Sound Insulation and Noise Reduction
Compared to regular glass, glass coated with smart film significantly improves sound insulation, making it effective in reducing external noise. This is particularly beneficial for creating quieter, more comfortable spaces in offices, hotels, residential buildings, and other environments where noise control is important.
Opposite PDLC Self-Adhesive Film Technology Explained
The Opposite PDLC Self-Adhesive Film is a functional film created by coating liquid crystal polymer between two layers of flexible ITO conductive film using polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) technology. The arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules can be controlled via voltage, thus controlling the film’s transparency.
-
Working Principle:
- When powered on: The liquid crystal molecules align randomly under the influence of an electric field, preventing light from passing through. At this point, the film is in an opaque state.
- When powered off: The liquid crystal molecules align in an ordered manner, allowing parallel light to pass through. The film becomes transparent.
-
Key Features and Technical Specifications:
- Voltage: Operating voltage of 100V for stable performance.
- Response Time: Response time from on to off and off to on is approximately 200 milliseconds, ensuring quick transitions.
- Light Transmittance: With power on, the light transmittance is 92%, and when powered off, it is 80%, allowing for customizable transparency levels.
- UV and IR Protection: The film effectively blocks 92% of UV rays and 57% of infrared rays, providing additional protection to indoor environments.
- Durability: The film has a lifespan of over 50,000 hours and can endure more than 200,000 switching cycles.
Conclusion
Smart film offers outstanding privacy protection, energy efficiency, safety, thermal insulation, UV protection, and soundproofing, making it an ideal choice for modern architecture and interior design. The Opposite PDLC Self-Adhesive Film, with its innovative technology, provides excellent light control, fast response times, and durability, making it a popular choice in the market.
