AIS SMART GLAZING

The Future of Glass

• The light transmission properties of these glasses are altered by technology, which instantly interchanges between transparency, translucency and opaqueness.

• It can be used for windows, skylights, doors, and partitions, and is available as laminated panels or insulated glass units.

AIS Introduction

• The demand for smart glasses has been increasing due to modern lifestyle requirements of comfort, convenience, privacy and energy efficiency.

• It is a differentiated product in the highly competitive glass industry.

• A number of futuristic technologies, like electrochromic, thermochromic, suspended particle, and liquid particle, go into the making of smart glazing.

A Smart InvestmentAIS

• To make the glasses, A one-micron electrochromic thin film stack is deposited on a glass substrate which is made up of ceramic metal oxide coatings with three electrochomic layers sandwiched between two transparent electrical conductors.

Pros:• Less Energy Consumption• Energy efficiency• Privacy• Convenience

Cons:• Shorter Lifespan• Slow transition between clear and opaque states

AIS Electrochromic Technology (Cont.)

• It enables manual and precise control of light and heat, compared to electrochromism.

• It reduces cost and also eliminates the need for expensive window dressings.

Suspended Particle Device TechnologyAIS

• It is a combined application of polymers and liquid crystals.

• For e.g.: Portable computers, cellular phones, calculators, digital clocks and watches.

• It beats up all other technologies in terms of switching speed and opacity.

• It can only achieve 2 states i.e. clear or opaque.

Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) Device technology AIS

• It is a revolutionary smart glass which gives the flexibility between transparency and opaqueness, while enabling control of both heat and light.

• It presents the perfect balance between style and necessity.

AIS Swytchglas: Switching on a new trend AIS

• Micro-blinds are very tiny, rolled, thin metal blinds on glass with no applied voltage.

• Nano crystals embedded in glass provide selective control over visible and heat-producing, near-infrared (NIR) light.
