Smart glass, also known as switchable glass, refers to the glass whose light transmission features can be altered when light, voltage, or heat is applied. This type of glass changes from transparent to translucent and vice versa, for blocking the wavelength of light. The various types of smart glass are electrochromic, photochromic, suspended-particle, micro-blind, thermochromic, and polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal devices.
