Current PDLC smart film products can be used as building decoration materials or automotive sunroof coverings. However, they are typically shipped in roll packaging. During actual application, the roll smart film often needs to be cut to specific dimensions and integrated into glass to achieve full transparency and opacity switching. This approach fails to meet customer demands for partial transparency or opacity, as well as pattern display capabilities.
Recently, Zhuhai Shuifa Singyes New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. successfully passed the examination by the China National Intellectual Property Administration for its invention patent titled “Electrically Controllable Pattern-Displaying PDLC Smart Film and Its Laser Etching Preparation Method.” This achievement formally grants the company the patent authorization, providing robust technical support for electrically controllable pattern-displaying PDLC smart films. It marks a significant advancement in the company's R&D capabilities within the PDLC smart film technology field.
It is reported that the “Electrically Controllable Pattern-Displaying PDLC Smart Film and Its Laser Etching Preparation Method” enables precise adjustment of transparent and opaque areas across any segment through laser etching, along with pattern display control. This innovation addresses the shortcomings of existing PDLC smart films, which suffer from low transparency in frosted or transparent states, rendering them unsuitable as light sources and making it difficult for users to see objects clearly. By enhancing light transmittance while effectively conserving energy, it delivers significant economic and social benefits.
Patents serve as a vital showcase of a company's innovation capabilities and are key support for establishing technological barriers and driving industry advancement. Since 2025, Shuifa Singyes New Materials has focused on functional development and process optimization of smart films, accumulating 10 invention patents and 4 utility innovation patents. These achievements represent the company's intellectual contributions to advancing smart film technology.
