Window units must satisfy numerous criteria, on the one hand allowing an unobstructed view of the exterior but also providing the desired amount of protection from direct sunlight and the associated heat transfer. Mechanical shading systems are only partially effective in meeting these requirements, and therefore much effort has been directed toward the development of adaptive glazing systems. By modifying conventional liquid crystal technologies used for display screens and introducing new materials and processes, a switchable glazing system with unique and promising characteristics was developed by the author. The functional principle and some properties of these adaptive elements are presented herein.
