With the dynamic eyrise s350 solar control glass from supplier Glas Trösch, the light and energy input is controlled via liquid crystals in the space between the panes.
At the core of this innovative technology is licrivision, a transparent liquid crystal mixture with special colouring molecules.

Facade glass that can be switched in seconds
This mixture is located between two glass panes coated in a transparent, conductive film. A low voltage is used to change the direction of the liquid crystals, moving them from a random position to a highly organised pattern.
In just one second, the eyrise s350 solar control glass can be darkened and then immediately provides protection against light and heat. If the solar radiation increases or decreases over time, the light transmission can be continuously regulated to adjust the tinting of the windows. This effectively reduces the costs for air conditioning and lighting.
