Switchable privacy glass

SDX3 SmartView powered by CUC, by Skyline Design and Cardinal Glass Industries, is a switchable privacy glass with a film-free design utilizing liquid crystal technology for commercial spaces. 

SDX3 SmartView employs a proprietary liquid crystal technology applied directly to glass, offering a truly clear view in the transparent mode and maintaining privacy when activated. The liquid crystals are randomly scattered in privacy mode, allowing diffused light to pass through while fully obfuscating the view. The transition to clear mode, achieved by applying an electrical charge, aligns the crystals uniformly, providing an unobstructed view like traditional glass from any angle.

SDX3 SmartView also employs minimal energy consumption. A large pane of SDX3 glass utilizes less energy than a 25-watt lightbulb, with no limitations on the duration it can remain in clear mode. This energy efficiency, coupled with acoustical privacy, security, and UV protection, positions SDX3 as a versatile solution adaptable to various applications, seamlessly integrating into existing automation systems.

Whether used in windows, doors, or wall systems, SDX3 SmartView switchable privacy glass offers a combination of privacy and natural light benefits that is ideal for commercial spaces and hospitals.
