In 2026, openness and privacy are no longer mutually exclusive. Thanks to developments in PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technologies, we now have the ability to change the transparency of architectural elements in milliseconds. In this article, we examine how integrating 'smart glass' into the reception zone solves security and confidentiality tasks in modern offices.
PDLC Technology: The Physics of Transparency
The principle of smart glass is based on liquid crystals placed between two layers of conductive film. In the 'off' state, crystals are scattered, diffusing light and making the glass opaque. When voltage is applied, they align into a clear structure, allowing light through. In 2026, switching speeds have reached 40 milliseconds, making the process visually instantaneous.
We utilize the latest generation PDLC triplex with enhanced adhesion and durability. Such glass withstands over 10 million switching cycles, guaranteeing 20+ years of trouble-free operation in active office environments.
Usage Scenarios: From VIP Zones to Information Displays
1. Confidential Meeting Zones
Often, reception areas are in close proximity to meeting rooms. Smart glass allows for the instant creation of a private zone for important guests at the touch of a button on the administrator's desk. This creates a 'magic' effect that invariably impresses clients.
