Smart Glass: Switchable glazing Technology

Smart Glass Technology

Smart Glass


Smart glass tech. is spreading widely. So what basically is smart glass technology?. Smart glass technology converts traditional static glass into movable and with that technology, glasses can change according to the environment and appears to be multifunctional.

It seems kind of tricky to understand but let me make it simple for you with that technology it allows the glass to function with the various lights such as visible light, Ultraviolet light, and IR. Its application are widely used in the making of privacy products such as a mobile screen protectors that allow the transparent material to switch into shaded with the light.

Smart Glazing

Smart glazing is integrated into the buildings and with the ability to control ‘its thermal properties with the external light source and also controls the amount of solar radiation. There are following purposes the smart glazing is used for such as visually indoor environment conditions like daylight, view to outside, and specifically the privacy. Building energy by reducing the temperature of the building by working smartly with the outside environment.

Manufacturer of Smart Glass

There is various smart glass company which is providing smart glass on large scales in the construction sectors. One of the British manufacturer company named as ‘’Intelligentglass which are providing their service for over 15 years. They are providing smart glasses and smart films and dealt on large scale throughout the United Kingdom.

It is an intelligent glass that can adjust the external light to provide optimum natural light according to comfort.


Smart Glass and its types

There are two fundamental types of smart glasses called as active and passive smart glass.

 Active glass denotes that the glass activates its feature by electricity.

The passive type glasses applications are photochromic glass and its example is widely used in the optics that its coating is automatically changes to tint in sunlight and the other one is thermochromic glass changes in the exposure to the outside temperature.

Smart glasses are also known as LCG light control glass

Smart glasses are one of the innovation that contribute to household, school, colleges, and almost in every sector with its multiple functionalities it gives an efficient and aesthetic look to the building and structures. The most amazing feature of these glasses that it reduces the energy consumption inside the building.

Working principle of Active Smart Glass

Active smart glass technology operates and lets the user to control its features such as different forms of light radiation with the electricity.  With the electricity the glass switches from its original state which is opaque to clear or transparent allow it to control dynamically
