Electrically switchable liquid crystal scattering: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled light transmission in smart glazing increases energy costs and reduces privacy. This technology engineers the alignment of liquid crystal phases to switch between transparent and scattering states via electrical field control.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Electrically switchable liquid crystal scattering?

Insufficient optical contrast range

(1)evidences

High levels of incident light wash out the contrast and clarity of liquid crystal displays. Reducing this interference ensures visual information remains legible in bright environments.
