PriWatt CLC Blackout
From Clear Glass to Blackout at the Flick of a Switch
PriWatt CLC (Colorant Liquid Crystal) is a new type of Smart Glass.
In the off-state - it appears as a neutral gray-black, providing functions such as light blocking, shading, and privacy protection.
In the on-state - it becomes transparent with clear visibility and a wide viewing angle.
Ideal for outdoor use, these units are perfect for windows, doors, and facades, enhancing design aesthetics while ensuring energy efficiency and effective environmental control.

Key Features of PriWatt CLC
- Blackout Effect: Neutral gray-black appearance when powered off, providing total privacy and shading.
- Crystal Clear Transparency: Switches to transparent mode when powered on, with low haze (<3%) and a wide 160° viewing angle.
- High Contrast Ratio: Greater than 6x contrast ratio, ensuring sharp transitions.
- Wide Temperature Range: Functions reliably from -22°F to 194°F (-30°C to 90°C), suitable for extreme environments.
- UV & Infrared Blocking: Blocks over 99% UV rays and 80% infrared, enhancing comfort and protecting interiors.
- Energy Efficient: Consumes only <0.84W/ft² (<9W/m²) in ON state and <1.39W/ft² (<15W/m²) with the controller.
- Durability: Engineered for over 2 million switch cycles, ensuring longevity in demanding conditions.
