Smart film, a cutting-edge innovation in glass technology, has revolutionized how we think about privacy and visibility. A common question we hear is, Is smart film transparent? The answer is yes—smart film can indeed be transparent, but it can also be frosted depending on your preferences. With the push of a button, this technology transforms your space from open and clear to private and secure, giving you total control over your environment.
What Is Smart Film?
At its core, smart film is a switchable privacy window film that can be applied to any smooth glass surface, both existing and new. It uses Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) technology to transition between two states: transparent (clear) and frosted (opaque). When powered on, the liquid crystals align, allowing light to pass through, creating a transparent effect. When powered off, the crystals scatter light, producing a frosted, translucent effect, blocking visibility while still allowing light to enter …
