Smart Window and Switchable glass

The window varies depending on the season and weather?
Adjusting the transmittance depending on the season we had a window that appeared self-adjusting color saturation and temperature. Switchable glass.
Switchable glass is one of the smart window and switchable glass is used for energy saving and environment-friendly materials is attracting attention as a new material which change the properties of existing glass. Switchable glass is suitable for environmental issues and energy savings as the most typical features of self-regulating solar heat absorption outside temperature rises darker the color becomes transparent and the temperature goes down. In response to the low energy consumption and increase the economic value of the environment. So Switchable glass is to build a safe and pleasant residential and urban environments used in various fields such as building, construction, industry and transportation sectors. Also, use the vehicle superstructure Switchable glass can protect the skin and eye of the driver, so to block the visible light by up to 40%

Smart window technology development

Korea
-'korea institute of industrial technology' has developed the metal/metal oxide thin film material deposition process and technology development for smart window

Overseas
-US company 'View' has developed and commercializad a thin film deposition process which creates a conductive layer between two glass panels to control the sun light and heat passing through from the sun

Switchable glass are the most difficult thing for us to retain the broad market price. Complex and difficult to produce Switchable glass products. Due to. But Switchable glass are high in energy efficiency and also outstanding is high in construction, manufacturing capabilities for aesthetic and functional.
