Notes on where our products stand, and what we think about day to day.
The same film can last for years or scorch in a day, depending on the drive waveform. Four causes of degradation — DC component, excess voltage, ripple and boundary field concentration — with the mechanism and the fix for each. (On our corporate site.)
Nothing conducts sideways through switchable film, yet driving one zone puts a voltage across its neighbours. The coupling runs through the shared common electrode — and that one fact decides how far it reaches. (On our corporate site.)
Some switchable films go opaque when you cut the power; others go clear. The choice decides what the glass does in a power failure — and how many hours a day it is drawing current. (On our corporate site.)
The “○ W/m²” on a datasheet is not a constant of the film. The same film draws different power depending on the frequency the controller drives it at — and that decides your supply capacity and drivable area. (On our corporate site.)
