SPD Smart Film – Smart Glass for Dynamic Light Control

Ultra-thin • Instant Privacy • Energy Efficient • Easy Installation

What is SPD Smart Film?

SPD (Suspended Particle Device) Smart Film is an advanced switchable smart glass technology that allows precise control of light transmission through an electrical current. It changes from a dark tinted state to a clear transparent state by aligning microscopic suspended particles inside the film. When the power is OFF, the particles scatter randomly, blocking light and providing privacy and solar shading. When the power is ON, the particles align uniformly, allowing light to pass through and restoring clear visibility.

Product Specification

SPD Smart Film

Suspended Particle Device (SPD) electrochromic technology. Instantly shifts from a dark blue, light-absorbing state to completely transparent, offering ultimate glare control, solar shading, and thermal comfort.

Deep Dark State

When powered off, SPD particles absorb over 98% of visible light, creating a deep blue opaque state for excellent solar shading.

Precise Tint Control

The entire tinting and bleaching process can be precisely controlled by adjusting the 90V AC voltage.

99% UV Blocking

Provides outstanding sun protection by blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays across all tint states.

Ultra Low Power

Consumes only ~3 W/m², making it a highly energy-efficient solution for large-scale glazing projects.

How SPD Technology Works

SPD works by dispersing millions of suspended particles between two transparent conductive layers. The tint level dynamically responds to applied voltage:

  • Power OFF = Dark Blue (Opaque)The SPD particles remain randomly distributed, absorbing over 98% of visible light. The film appears in a deep dark blue state, heavily reducing solar glare and heat.
  • Power ON = Transparent (Clear)When 90V AC current passes through the conductive layers, the particles instantly align in an orderly manner. This allows light to pass through, switching the film to a highly transparent state (60% transmittance).

✔Deep Dark Tinted: Blocks over 99% light transmission while maintaining crisp view (No frosted privacy). ✖Opaque Milky White: Completely blocks the line of sight for total frosted privacy.
Heat & Solar Control ✔Exceptional SHGC Reduction: Actively absorbs infrared heat rays, drastically cutting down HVAC cooling costs. ✖Limited Thermal Control: Scatters light but does not efficiently block solar infrared heat radiation.
Glare Control ✔Superior dynamic anti-glare tuning; retains outer visibility without blinds. ✖Basic diffusion only; turning it off blocks the outdoor view entirely.
UV Protection ✔Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays to prevent interior fading. ✔Blocks most standard UV rays through standard glass lamination.
Best Applications ✔Automotive sunroofs, aerospace, marine yachts, luxury building glass facades, and skylights. ✔Office meeting rooms, bank counters, hotel bathroom partitions, and residential indoor privacy.
