Dim meeting room behind glass partitions with frosted bands.
Type AS · PDLC switchable film

Privacy when you need it: frosted to clear with a suitable control system.

Type AS is a self-adhesive PDLC film for suitable existing glass. Power changes its appearance from frosted when off to clear when on. Assess privacy, transparency and installation compatibility for the actual glazing and room conditions.

How it works

Change the visual openness of a room.

The film contains a PDLC liquid-crystal layer between protective films and is applied to compatible existing glass. With power off, the liquid crystals scatter light for a frosted appearance; with power on, their alignment allows a clearer view. This is not a claim that all installations use a laminated-glass unit.

01

Power off — frosted

Helps screen views during meetings or consultations. It is not a sound-insulation or complete-concealment guarantee.

02

Power on — clear

Restore a clearer view without moving blinds. Light transmission and haze depend on the film and glazing configuration.

03

Existing frames

Existing glass may be reused where surface, frame and electrical conditions are suitable. Confirm access, preparation and downtime for the project.

Applications

Where switchable privacy can be useful

Plan the space around its uses, then verify the film, glazing, control and environmental requirements.

01

Office partitions

Switch between an open view and visual screening for meetings, subject to the selected film and control configuration.

02

Banks and service counters

Consider visual privacy at desks and counters; security requirements need separate assessment.

03

Hotels and bathrooms

Switch the appearance of a glazed partition. For wet areas, confirm film suitability, edge sealing and electrical design.

04

Clinics and consultation rooms

Support visual screening when required. Suitability for a medical setting and its privacy rules must be assessed separately.

05

Retail and showrooms

Coordinate display-window switching with the planned control system; electrical integration is project-specific.

06

Vehicle glazing enquiries

Discuss sunroof or partition applications separately. Confirm the exact film, glazing compatibility and applicable requirements; building-film suitability does not establish automotive approval.

Specification

Type AS overview

Confirm the final specification for the selected model, glass build-up, project area and power supply. Distinguish film measurements from results for a complete glazing assembly, and request the relevant data for your quotation.

Installation planning

Four stages to plan from survey to handover

Plan edge protection, busbars, wiring and moisture control before cutting. The sequence below is a project-planning outline, not a complete electrical or installation procedure.

01

Survey

Record pane dimensions, glass build-up, frame depth, power routing and control position.

02

Cutting and wiring plan

Confirm the pane dimensions, film cutting plan, busbars and cabling before application.

03

Film application

Prepare suitable clean glass and protect the edges according to the product-specific installation guidance.

04

Commissioning

Check switching states, the agreed controls and handover information for the facility team.

Buyer questions

Before you specify

Can it be applied to existing glass?
It may be suitable where the glass, frame and environment meet the application requirements. Send pane dimensions, glass build-up and frame photos so compatibility can be reviewed before a quotation.
What power supply is required?
The PDLC layer is energized for the clear state. Confirm the film load, controller requirements and total consumption for the project; this page does not specify a power figure or guarantee zero standby consumption.
When should dimensions be confirmed?
Confirm pane dimensions and the busbar/wiring plan before production and application. Any site adjustment must follow the selected product’s guidance rather than assuming unrestricted on-site cutting.
Can you supply it under our brand?
Discuss OEM film and ODM packaging, labels, controls and documentation with CHISI. Confirm the available options and any warranty terms for the selected model and agreement.
Next step

Send pane dimensions.
Discuss film and electrical requirements.

Include glass build-up, control position and room quantities. Discuss the film schedule, wiring requirements and sample availability for your project.
