Specialty Smart Film Solution

Reverse Smart Film

Reversed Switching Logic for Custom Privacy Applications

A specialty switchable film that remains transparent in its default state and becomes opaque when powered. Designed for projects where reversed control logic is operationally or conceptually preferred.

What Reverse Smart Film Is

Reversed Switching Logic Explained

Reverse Smart Film operates with inverted control logic compared to standard Smart Film. This specialty solution is designed for projects where the reversed operational behaviour aligns better with the intended control strategy or architectural concept.

Standard Smart Film

Most common privacy logic—privacy is the default state.

Specialty operational option—transparency is the default state.

How It Works

Reversed Operational Behaviour

Reverse Smart Film uses similar PDLC technology to standard Smart Film, but with inverted switching behaviour. When the system is unpowered, the film remains transparent. When power is applied, the privacy effect activates.

  • Transparent in the default (OFF) state
  • Opaque when powered (ON state)
  • Useful for specific control strategies or privacy concepts
  • Can be integrated with building automation systems

What Makes This Distinct

Specialty Operational Benefits

Transparent by Default

The film remains clear in its unpowered state, allowing natural visibility when the system is off.

Privacy Activated on Power

When powered, the film switches to opaque mode, activating the privacy effect on demand.

Reversed Control Logic

Offers the opposite operational behaviour to standard Smart Film for specific project requirements.

Project-Specific Solution

Designed for applications where reversed switching logic aligns with the intended control strategy.

Clean Architectural Integration

Maintains the same refined appearance and installation quality as standard Smart Film.

Distinct Operational Behaviour

A specialty operational option for architects and designers with specific control preferences.

Applications

Where Reverse Logic Applies

Reverse Smart Film is selected for projects where the inverted switching behaviour provides a specific operational advantage or aligns with a particular control concept.

  • Space partitions with reverse privacy logic
  • Controlled-access meeting rooms
  • Specialty office layouts
  • Electronic product integration
  • Custom privacy concepts
  • Project-specific architectural applications
