Smart Film
for Every Space
Vantis Smart Film uses PDLC technology to turn standard glazing into instant-switching privacy glass. Press a button — or automate it entirely. For commercial, healthcare, hospitality, and architectural projects.
Technology
PDLC Smart Film
Explained
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) film is built from liquid crystal droplets suspended in a polymer layer and sealed between transparent conductive electrodes. In the unpowered state, the crystals are randomly oriented and scatter light, which creates the frosted appearance.
Apply AC voltage and the electric field aligns the crystals.
Remove power and the film returns to its privacy state.
Because the film is applied to existing glass or integrated into insulated glass units, it gives specifiers a controllable privacy layer without changing the architectural glass itself.
Film Stack
Outer Layer
Protective film and clear substrate
Active Layer
PDLC matrix with liquid crystal droplets in polymer
Electrical Layer
Transparent conductive electrodes apply AC voltage
Power Off
Crystals remain scattered and the film reads frosted for privacy.
Power On
Crystals align with the field and the glass returns to a clear state.

Behavior

Privacy on Demand
Instant transition from fully transparent to completely opaque at the touch of a button — or on a schedule. Privacy when you need it, openness when you don't.
Modern Aesthetic
Clean, frameless glass that preserves the visual openness of your space. No blinds, no curtains, no track hardware — just glass that responds to your needs.
Energy Efficiency
Smart film reduces solar heat gain when opaque, contributing to better thermal performance and reduced HVAC load in glass-heavy commercial spaces.
Space Optimization
Eliminate permanent partition walls. Create flexible, multi-use environments that shift from open-plan collaboration to fully private in an instant.
Easy Integration
Standard AC connection works with any wall switch, timer, or building automation system — KNX, Crestron, Lutron, or simple 0–10V dimming.
