Abstract

Now you see me\dots{} This article reports a switchable liquid-crystal smart window that can be independently operated in two voltage-modulated modes. In the first mode, for privacy control, the window is switched between a transparent state and a scattering state by a low-frequency voltage, based on flexoelectric interaction; in the second, for energy-flow control, it is switched between transparent and absorbing states by a high-frequency voltage, based on dielectric interaction. This technology ought to be very useful for both architectural and automobile windows.
