SDX Smart Film
Switchable smart film that transitions Philadelphia glass from clear to opaque on demand — privacy at the switch of a button.
About SDX Smart Film
SDX Smart Film from SOLYX® is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) switchable film that transitions glass from clear to opaque when voltage is applied, and back to clear when the circuit opens. The film is laminated between glass layers or applied to existing glass surfaces with a specialized adhesive system, and is connected to a standard low-voltage switch, a smart home controller, or a building automation system. At the switch of a button — or automatically on a schedule — any glass surface in a Philadelphia building can transition instantly between fully transparent and frosted opaque.
For Philadelphia conference rooms, executive offices, and private consultation spaces in healthcare and legal environments, smart film solves the fundamental tension between architectural openness and operational privacy. A glass-walled conference room can be open and inviting when not in use — transparent from every angle, connected to the floor plate visually — and completely private the moment a meeting begins. No blinds, no curtains, no roller shades, no manual management by occupants.
The SDX Smart Film also serves as a dynamic projection screen: when switched to opaque, the film produces a back-projection surface that accepts image from a projector positioned behind the glass. This dual-function capability — privacy partition and projection screen on the same glass — makes smart film particularly valuable in Philadelphia's premium event spaces, boardrooms, and multi-function hospitality areas.
Smart film installations require electrical connection and low-voltage control infrastructure. Window Film Philadelphia handles the complete smart film installation including film application, electrical coordination, and control system configuration for Philadelphia commercial and high-end residential projects.

Conference rooms, executive offices, and clinical consultation spaces can be visually open when unoccupied and completely private during use — the architectural flexibility that smart film uniquely provides.
Projection Screen Dual Function
