  • Q How to install the smart dimming film and what are the precautions?

    A
    Preparation before installation
    1. Check materials and tools
    Dimming film: confirm the size, voltage (such as PDLC usually requires 24V-110V AC/DC), light transmittance and other parameters. 
    Supporting equipment: power controller, switch, transformer (if required), conductive tape or electrode leads. 
    Tools: dust-free cloth, scraper (or soft card), utility knife, tape measure, level, soldering iron (if soldering electrodes are required). 
    Cleaning products: glass detergent, alcohol, dust removal stickers.
    2. Substrate surface treatment
    Clean the installation surfaces such as glass or acrylic to ensure that there are no dust, oil, or water stains (can be wiped with alcohol and dried). Measure and mark the installation position to ensure that the dimming film is aligned with the frame (the error must be <1mm).
    Installation steps (taking PDLC dimming film as an example)
    1. Fix the dimming film: Spray a small amount of soapy water on the surface of the glass, adjust the position after applying the dimming film, and then squeeze out the water stains with a scraper. Then wipe dry the residual moisture on the edge with a dust-free cloth.
    2. Electrode connection: The dimming film has an electrode area (usually silver conductive strips) left at the edge of the dimming film, and wire it in the following way:
    Welding method: Use wires to weld the electrodes and fix them with insulating tape.  
    Conductive tape method: paste the conductive tape in the electrode area and connect the power cord to the other end. 
    Make sure the positive and negative poles are correct (reverse connection may cause the dimming film to not work or damage).
    3. Installation of power and control equipment
    Connect the transformer or controller (need to match the dimming film voltage). Test switch function: After power on, the dimming film should quickly become transparent, and the power off will be restored to the atomization state.  
    4. Edge treatment: Use a utility knife to trim the excess film edge (maintain the angle between the blade and the glass ≤30° to avoid scratches).
    Things to note
    1. Safety protection: Wear gloves during operation to avoid fingerprints contaminating the conductive layer. The high-voltage dimming film needs to be powered off to prevent electric shock.
    2. Environmental requirements: The installation temperature is recommended to be 10℃-30℃, and the humidity is less than 70% (low temperature may lead to a decrease in the viscosity of the glue layer). Avoid hard objects scratching the surface of the film (PDLC layer is relatively fragile).
    3. Frequently Asked Questions:
    Bubble: Poke it with a needle and scrape it flat, or re-removal and paste it.  
    Local opacity: Check whether the electrode contact is poor.  
    Power interference: Avoid arrangement with strong wires in parallel, and add a shield if necessary.
    Acceptance and maintenance
    1. Acceptance standards: The entire area is transparent/atomized evenly, and there are no visible bubbles or wrinkles. The switch response time is in accordance with the product instructions (usually <1 second).  
    2. Daily maintenance: Use a soft cloth to wipe it with a clean water during cleaning, and use corrosive cleaners. It is recommended to shut down the power for a long time.

  • Q What is a smart dimming film?

    A
    A dimming film (Smart Film** or PDLC Film) is a smart film that can control the light transmission state through electrical signals. It is usually composed of two transparent conductive materials (such as ITO) sandwiched with polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layers. Its core feature is that it can quickly switch between transparent and opaque (atomized) states, achieving privacy protection, light adjustment or projection screen functions.
    Core Principle
    1. PDLC technology: The liquid crystal molecules in the dimming film are arranged in disorderly when the power is out, and the light is scattered, showing a frosted and opaque state. When powered on, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged in an orderly manner, light passes through directly, and the film becomes transparent. The voltage is usually low voltage (such as 24V-110V AC/DC), and is controlled by a switch or intelligent system.
    2. Other technical types:
    Electrochromic (EC): Changes color through ion migration, slower response but more energy-efficient.  
    SPD (suspended particles): It needs to be continuously powered on and maintained transparently, and becomes dark when powered off.
    Main features:
    Quick Switch: The response time of PDLC films is usually in the milliseconds.  
    Adjustable light transmittance: The light transmittance in transparent state can reach more than 80%, and the atomization state can be less than 10%.  
    Energy saving: PDLC only consumes power during switching, and maintains the state and consumes almost no energy (EC saves more power).  
    UV protection: Some products can block more than 99% of ultraviolet rays.  
    Privacy and projection: The atomized state can be used as a projection screen (such as commercial display).  
    Dimming film is an innovative product in the field of smart materials. With the maturity of technology and the decline in costs, it has great potential in green buildings, automotive electronics and other fields in the future.

  • Q What is a dimming film for automotive use?

    A
    Automotive dimming film is an intelligent film technology applied to automotive glass. It can change its light transmittance through electronic control, temperature control or light control, thereby adjusting the light intensity, privacy and thermal comfort in the car.
    1. Core principle:
    Electrochromic: By applying a voltage, the ions in the film are migrated and the optical properties (such as light transmittance and reflectivity).
    Suspended particles (SPD): Under the action of an electric field, the particles in the film are rearranged to achieve the adjustment of light transmittance.
    Liquid crystal dimming (PDLC): When power is turned on, the liquid crystal molecules become transparent in an orderly manner, and the scattered light is atomized when power is turned off.
    2. Main functions:
    Privacy protection: One-click atomize side or rear windows to prevent outsiders from snooping.
    Sunshading and heat insulation: reduces infrared and ultraviolet rays and reduces air conditioning energy consumption.
    -Anti-glare: Automatically adjust the light transmittance to alleviate the glare of strong light.
    Beautiful and technological sense: enhances the modern feel of the interior, which is commonly found in high-end models or modifications.
    3. Advantages:
    Energy-saving and environmentally friendly: reduce air conditioning use and energy consumption.
    Intelligent: It can be integrated into the on-board system and automatically controlled through buttons, APP or light sensors.
    Safety: Explosion-proof performance is enhanced, and some products can reduce the risk of glass breakage.
    Vehicle dimming film represents the development direction of intelligent automotive glass, and may be further integrated with autonomous driving and vehicle networking technologies in the future, such as automatic adjustment based on passenger needs or ambient light.d39918a33aacc98a704f12a371c40ca
