Healthcare
Hygienic privacy for operating theaters, ICUs, clinics, and patient observation suites, replacing traditional curtains that harbor bacteria and compromise sterility.
ASEPTIC SURFACES & INSTANT CLINICAL PRIVACY
ADPI healthcare solutions eliminate textile reservoirs of pathogens and enable medical staff to monitor patients safely from corridors without entering isolation suites or disturbing patient rest.
100% Disinfectable Aseptic Surface
Continuous, non-porous glass surface that withstands sodium hypochlorite, isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and hospital-grade chemical disinfectants without degradation.
Continuous Monitoring in ICUs & Recovery Suites
Nursing and medical staff can assess patient conditions instantly from the hallway by switching the partition to transparent, preserving calm and sterility.
Patient Rest, Dignity & Privacy
In opaque mode, patients enjoy a serene, confidential environment protected from outside gaze without feeling isolated or confined.
Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs)
A definitive replacement for privacy curtains that accumulate viruses, spores, and multi-resistant bacteria, eliminating recurring laundering and replacement costs.
Classrooms, Cleanrooms & Educational Labs
Partition walls that provide acoustic and visual focus for clinical exams and research lectures, opening visually whenever collaborative learning is required.
Acoustic Confidentiality in Consultation Rooms
Sound insulation up to 38-42 dB safeguarding medical confidentiality (HIPAA / GDPR compliance) and patient tranquility adjacent to busy corridors.
HOW PDLC SMART GLASS WORKS
The physical operating principle of PDLC technology relies on the precise alignment of microscopic liquid crystal droplets suspended within a specialized polymer matrix between two conductive ITO polyester layers.
HOW PDLC SMART GLASS WORKS
The physical operating principle of PDLC technology relies on the alignment of microscopic liquid crystal droplets encapsulated in a polymer matrix.

Clinical & Healthcare Applications
- ICU Patient Bays & Critical Care Suites
- Operating Theaters & Ambulatory Surgical Suites
- Patient Recovery Rooms & Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (AIIR)
- Diagnostic Imaging Suites, X-Ray & MRI Enclosures
- Doctor Consultation Rooms & Emergency Triage Bays
- Biosecurity Laboratories & Clinical Compounding Pharmacies
- Teaching Auditoriums, Medical Simulation Suites & Observation Windows
- Zero Voltage (0V): In the absence of an applied electric field, liquid crystal micro-droplets are oriented randomly and chaotically within the solid polymer matrix.
- Complete Visual Privacy: The refractive indices of the polymer and liquid crystal droplets do not match, scattering incident light rays in all directions. Direct line-of-sight is 100% obscured.
- Translucent Natural Daylight: While direct visibility is fully blocked, over 55%-60% of ambient sunlight is gently diffused, illuminating interiors warmly without glare.
- 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, delivering 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 degradation of clinical equipment.
Operating Voltage
Extra-low voltage operation powered by CE-certified ADPI controllers with galvanic isolation, fully compliant for medical partitions, en-suites, and clinical wet areas.
Optical Haze
Industry-leading low haze index in clear state, delivering crisp, distortion-free sightlines essential for clinical observation.
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 hygienic floor-to-ceiling partitions without intermediate joints.
Operating Temperature Range
Advanced chemical formulation with superior thermal stability, engineered for climate-controlled surgical suites and sterile environments.
Switching Cycles
Accelerated aging tested exceeding 18 million switching cycles with zero degradation in optical uniformity or liquid crystal clarity.
