제목 | Smart Window Technologies of Merck based on Liquid Crystals |
초록 | Modern architecture is all about transparency and light. Pairing the aesthetic qualities of glass with functional shading and energy efficiency, however, is a challenge. Merck is now expanding our expertise in display for such intelligent window systems - Liquid Crystal Windows. Liquid Crystal Windows are switchable glass panes with a liquid crystal layer changing light transmission properties in order to control light and heat intake. Specific liquid crystal mixtures containing dyes act as an interlayer between two glass sheets. These windows allow for atmospheric changes on demand, with extremely fast and continuously switching options, and enhance facade performance in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability by preventing energy loss and controlling solar heat intake with the potential of converting the unused light into electricity. And ultimate design freedom is also one of advantages in terms of applicable shapes or styles and a broad spectrum of color options. |
