Laminating PDLC Smart Film for switchable glass requires precision and the right technique to ensure long-term performance and clarity. PDLC Smart Film (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) works by changing from transparent to opaque when an electrical current is applied, making it ideal for privacy control and energy efficiency. Proper lamination is essential to protect the film, maintain optical quality, and ensure even power distribution across the surface.
The process begins by preparing two sheets of glass, which will sandwich the PDLC Smart Film. Both glass surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, oil, or moisture, as even minor particles can affect film adhesion and visibility. Next, the PDLC Smart Film is carefully cut to size, leaving a small margin for wiring connections. Align the film between the glass layers, ensuring the conductive edges remain accessible for the electrical connection.
A high-quality EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) or TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) interlayer is placed on both sides of the film to act as an adhesive during lamination. The glass-film assembly is then sealed in a vacuum bag to remove air bubbles before being placed in a laminating oven or autoclave. The heating process—typically between 110°C to 135°C—melts the interlayer, bonding the glass and film together into a single, durable panel.
Electrical Smart Switchable glass is composed with one liquid crystal sheet solidified(calls pdlc film) and double tempering glass under high-pressure & high-temperature.Electrical Smart Switchable glass is composed with one liquid crystal sheet solidified(calls pdlc film) and double tempering glass under high-pressure & high-temperature.How it work-On natural condition, the arrangement of the liquid crystal inside the glass is ruleless, the refractive index of liquid crystal is lower than the polymer outside, incident light scatters on the polymer, which is milk-white, means opaque.When power on, the liquid drop of the polymer with liquid crystal dispersion will rearrange, the liquid crystal will become ruleless arrangement to ordered arrangement, which makes the same refractive index of the liquid crystal and the polymer, so incident light can pass through completely to form transparent condition.Light is scattered when passing through an optically inhomogeneous medium. PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) is a medium whose light scattering power is adjustable through applying an electric field.In their natural (uncharged) state,the PDLC droplets align randomly.Product features:1.Transparent when power on, opaque when power off; freely switching; concise and convenient.2. By spinning the voltage control button, change the light intensity and Infra Red Transmission automatically according to the change temperature and lights outside the window, which can achieve the effect for fixing the temperature and light. It is of high UV resistance, environmental protection and health protection.3.Double layer laminating technical, Of the high quality of safety glass, it is safe and firm, together with sound insulation, heat insulation and high noise resistance.4.Various controlling ways: switch, light control, voice control, thermal control, remote control, remote network control, etc, custom made by customers require.Application: Construction: Advanced hotel, villa, office, meeting room, toilet doors and windows, shower cubicle, kitchen doors and windows, glass curtain wall, greenhouse, science residence, business building, factory, laboratory doors and windows, partition, etc Financial &Medical: Bank teller windows, ATM safety windows, the room windows needs transfer between privacy and transmittance. Electronic: Freezer, refrigerator, microwave oven, game player Car window: Car scuttle, metro, high-speed rail Industries: Indoor design application, trade exhibition hall, command center central projection bulletin, commercial film advertisement, etc.
See the graph in the related link. It clearly separates out the differences between PDLC and SDLC.
testing and documentation
The first stage of the product development life cycle (PDLC) is typically the concept or ideation stage, where ideas are generated and evaluated for feasibility and viability before proceeding to the next stages of development.
Testing and Documentation, also known as step 5, The finishing Project
Yes, the program development life cycle (PDLC) is often considered a subset of the broader system development life cycle (SDLC). While the SDLC encompasses the entire process of developing and maintaining a system, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, the PDLC focuses specifically on the stages involved in creating software programs. Both cycles share similar phases, but the PDLC is more narrowly tailored to software development activities.
The Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) typically consists of five key steps: idea generation, product development, product testing, product launch, and post-launch evaluation. These steps guide the process from concept to market release and ensure that products meet customer needs and quality standards. Some variations may include additional steps or phases depending on the specific methodology used.
PDLC stands for the program development life cycle. It consists of various steps to develop a program for solving a particular problem. the following steps are used for development:1. problem analysis2. design of the program3. algorithm and flow chart4. coding of the program5. debugging and testing6. documentation7. maintenance of program1. Problem analysis includes the information attainment using interviews, questionnaires, discussion and reports so that designer can understand that what is the problem and what will required to solve it.2. design of the program after problem analysis designer have the clear view of what a problem is? Now he have to decide about the input requirements, variables as well as control structures by keeping in mind the output required.3. Algorithm and flowchart after design phase we have to made an algorithm. basically algorithm is the finite set of instructions written in sequential order to solve the problem. Then after flow chart is made on the basis of the algorithm whereas flowchart is the logical design of algorithm.4. Coding phase It is the crucial job of programmer to develop a code by following the flowchart and that code is written in any computer language. The main point to keep in mind is that it should be effective enough to got the output and the number of statements should be less.5. Debugging and Testing This phase includes the testing of the code developed by programmer. So that code can be made error free.6. Documentation This task is performed by the programmer to made the code user friendly i.e. if new person got the code then he/she can easily understand that which statement performed what task...7. Maintenance now the program is developed but it is required to made the code error free till the red signal is not get by the user.
