My Visible

A high-tech glass that could change from transparent to frosted with the flick of a switch. Through My Visible Glass you will see things in a whole new light. Visible is a hybrid glass that changes their optical and physical features, through a low electric current.

It can be used for home windows (eliminating the need for blinds), for store fronts (at night), and even for bathrooms (requiring users to stretch for a new level of trust in technology), Clinic, Conference Halls, Hospitals and even Skylights.

My Visible works according to the principles of polymer liquid-crystal optics. The laminated glazing comprises two sheets of glass, either clear or tinted, and a liquid crystal film. Both faces of the film are covered with a transparent, electrical conductive coating. When the glass is switched off from its special power supply, the liquid crystals are randomly scattered and diffuse light in all directions. By switching the glass on, the crystals line up and reorient themselves, turning the Visiblec glass totally transparent. Switching from the non-transparent state to the transparent state is almost instantaneous and can be repeated as often as desired.

The secret of the transformation between clear glass and translucent glass is found in the Liquid Crystal. In their non-energized state, the Liquid Crystal molecules disperse light. When voltage is applied, however, these same molecules arrange themselves in a specific direction in a way that permits parallel light to pass through the glass.

VISIBLE GLASS TECHNOLOGY

 PRINCIPLE: When the power is off, the liquid crystal molecules are randomly oriented that scatters incident light and Magic Glass becomes opaque.When electricity is applied, the liquid crystal molecules line up, the incident light passes through, and Magic Glass looks clear.

The Visible Glass Privacy Film is made of two layers of transparent conductive films sandwiched with PDLC material. The film is then laminated between two pieces of glass. When electricity is applied to the film the liquid crystals line up and the window is clear. When the power is turned off, the liquid crystals return to their normal scattering positions and turn the glass from clear to translucent.
