Obscure when Powered OFF
Fail-Safe Privacy for Healthcare, Research, and Secure Environments
ElectraView OneTM delivers privacy by default. When power is off, the glass remains obscure—protecting sensitive spaces—then switches to clear on demand, balancing privacy, light, and control.

| PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) FILM OVERVIEW | |
|---|---|
| METHOD OF ACTION: Electrical current either aligns or randomizes liquid crystals to achieve desired transparency. FUNCTION: CLEAR: When the liquid crystal molecules line up, the light passes through, and ElectraViewTM becomes clear. OBSCURE: When the liquid crystal molecules are randomly oriented, it scatters light, and ElectraViewTM becomes translucent. |
