Frequently Asked Questions
LC Privacy Glass is user-controlled with the use of a simple wall switch, mobile device, or with voice commands using Alexa or Google Home. When switched ON, glass is Transparent — when switched OFF, glass is Private.
The glass is transparent when the power is ON. The operation cannot be reversed.
In its transparent state, switchable smart glass never reaches 100% clarity. There is always a certain amount of “haze” or cloudiness when in the “On” state. This varies by manufacturer, manufacturing processes and materials, and can be minimized by the lighting conditions and environment it is viewed in. (See document below "How to Minimize and Control Haze")
