Corporate Workspaces
Modular glass partitions, confidential executive boardrooms, and open-plan daylight workspaces with instant switchable privacy on demand.
CONFIDENTIALITY, DESIGN & FLEXIBLE WORKSPACES
ADPI switchable PDLC smart glass and active architectural solutions replace dust-gathering blinds and mechanical curtains in corporate offices, creating illuminated, modern, and 100% confidential workspaces at the touch of a button.
Modular Partitions & Executive Offices
Open-plan architectural division between departments that switches from transparent to opaque in milliseconds to preserve visual privacy.
Confidential Executive Boardrooms
Immediate visual isolation for board meetings and executive committees, preventing outside glances without darkening the surrounding workspace.
Certified Acoustic Comfort
Acoustic laminated safety glass delivering noise reduction up to 38 dB, ensuring privacy and discretion for sensitive discussions.
Full Smart Building & BMS Integration
Operate via standard wall switches, RF wireless remotes, occupancy presence sensors, or building management systems (KNX, Crestron, DALI).
HD Rear Projection Surface
In unpowered opaque mode, glass partitions double as high-definition widescreen projection displays for presentations and video conferencing.
Clean, Minimalist Work Environments
Replaces textile curtains and venetian blinds that harbor dust, allergens, and require continuous ongoing maintenance.
HOW PDLC SMART GLASS WORKS
The operational principle of PDLC technology is based on micro-droplets of liquid crystal dispersed within an optical polymer matrix sandwiched between two conductive polyester (PET/ITO) films.

Conference Rooms & Confidential Meeting Spaces
Executive Offices & Modular Partitioning
Benefits of Smart Glass for Corporate Offices & Headquarters
- On-demand privacy for confidential meetings, board reviews, and executive sessions
- Modern, bright, and open-plan workspaces that foster natural daylight and team collaboration
- HD rear projection surface for corporate presentations, pitches, and multimedia rooms
- Optimized acoustic sound attenuation (up to 38 dB) without loss of ambient daylight
- Integrated automated control with Building Management Systems (BMS, KNX, Crestron)
- Sustainability and reduced cooling and lighting loads for LEED/BREEAM certified offices
Switchable Glass Applications in Modern Workspaces
- Boardrooms and executive conference suites
- Executive management offices and private director suites
- Demountable modular office partitions and glass dividers
- Corporate reception lobbies, atriums, and entranceways
- Training centers and corporate auditoriums
- Focus rooms, phone booths, and quiet concentration pods
- Open-plan acoustic glass screens and privacy partitions
- Zero Electrical Field (0V): In the absence of an applied voltage, liquid crystal micro-droplets are randomly dispersed within the polymer matrix.
- Total Visual Privacy: The refractive indices of the polymer and liquid crystals mismatch, refracting and scattering light in all directions. See-through vision is 100% blocked.
- Diffused Ambient Daylight: While preventing see-through vision, it transmits 55% to 60% of natural daylight as soft, glare-free diffused illumination.
- Voltage Activation (48V AC): Upon energizing, the electric field induces an instant dipole moment that aligns all liquid crystal micro-droplets perpendicularly in parallel.
- Crystal Clarity (< 10 ms): In their aligned orientation, the refractive index of the liquid crystals matches that of the host polymer, allowing light rays to pass through unobstructed.
- State-of-the-Art Optical Clarity: Ultra-low haze (< 2.5%), eliminating the milky haze effect characteristic of earlier generation switchable films.
High-Security Multi-Layer Composition
ADPI PDLC Smart Glass is engineered as a 5-layer architectural laminated safety glass assembled in high-pressure autoclaves or vacuum lamination ovens, ensuring outstanding durability and acoustic isolation.
-
A
Tempered or Heat-Strengthened Safety Glass:
Available in thicknesses from 4+4 mm, 5+5 mm, 6+6 mm up to 10+10 mm, with standard float, low-iron extra-clear, or acoustic laminate options.
-
B
Certified Structural Interlayers (EVA / PVB):
Molecular cross-linking bonding that hermetically protects the active liquid crystal layer against moisture and guarantees superior shatter resistance.
-
C
Concealed Electrical Termination:
Ultra-thin copper busbars integrated seamlessly within the glass edge perimeter with concealed wiring routing through partition profiles or pivot hinges.
PDLC SMART GLASS SPECIFICATIONS
Tested and certified in leading international laboratories in compliance with electrical safety directives, acoustic insulation, and architectural durability standards.
Switching Speed
Instantaneous switching from opaque to transparent (< 10 ms) and under 100 ms from transparent to opaque, with zero discernible latency or flickering.
Energy Consumption
Minimal residual power consumption in transparent mode (equivalent to a small LED indicator). In dormant state (off/opaque), power consumption is 0 W/m².
UV Radiation Blockage
Continuous blocking of harmful UV radiation in both states (ON and OFF), protecting occupant wellbeing and preventing discoloration of corporate furnishings.
Operating Voltage
Extra-low voltage operation powered by CE-certified ADPI controllers with galvanic isolation, fully compliant for partition systems in executive suites and wet areas.
Optical Haze
Industry-leading low haze index in clear state, providing crystal-clear sightlines without angular milky haziness.
Manufacturing Width
Continuous seamless glass and film panels up to 1,800 mm in width by up to 4,000 mm in height, ideal for floor-to-ceiling office partitions without intermediate mullions.
Operating Temperature Range
Advanced polymer formulation with superior thermal stability, engineered for climate-controlled interiors as well as insulated exterior facade configurations.
Switching Cycles
Accelerated aging testing exceeding 18 million switching cycles with zero degradation in optical uniformity or liquid crystal clarity.
