World's Fastest Electronic Shade Technology

INDUSTRY Leader in FAST ELECTRONIC SHADE TECHNOLOGY

AKARI LIQUID CRYSTAL LIGHT CONTROL FILM

LCF

The Light Control Film utilizes dichroic dye and liquid crystal to instantaneously change the contrast of the film, making it an integral part of smart window technology. This electronic shades solution controls permeating light by switching an electrical charge, effectively acting as a molecular version of a blind or partition. These innovations, such as GHLC, have numerous real-world applications.

How it works

In our innovative electronic shades systems, a dichroic guest dye is incorporated into the liquid crystal light control film. The unique dichroism of this dye leads to an absorbance that is dependent on its orientation. These specially designed and fabricated dyes align tightly with the liquid crystal host, allowing for effective manipulation. When an applied field causes reorientation of the liquid crystal host, it simultaneously reorients the dye, resulting in a change in the absorbance of the entire system. Essentially, this setup functions like a molecular version of a blind. Non-polarizer based electronic shades have significant advantages over traditional polarizer-based systems, particularly in their ability to adjust the transmission window as required. For eyewear applications, this mixture can achieve clear state transmissions exceeding 70%, a feat unattainable by polarizer-based systems, making it a key player in smart window technology and GHLC applications.

Spec Table

We offer two versions of the film: Normally Dark or Normally Clear

Normally Dark - The electronic shades feature a dark appearance in the off state (no power). Normally Clear - The film remains clear when no power is applied. This ensures a fail-safe mode (dark or clear) for your application when electricity is not supplied to the liquid crystal light control film. We can customize your desired light transmission range within the specifications of the GHLC smart window technology.
