16.1: Invited Paper: Self‐Regulating Liquid Crystal Windows for Energy Saving. (26th August 2021) - Oh, Seung-Won
Abstract : A self‐regulating liquid crystal (LC) smart window whose reflectance can be controlled by ambient conditions is demonstrated. Thermally‐ or optically‐induced switching between the transparent state and a near‐infrared (NIR) reflective state can be used for energy‐saving windows. Reflection of NIR can reduce the energy used for cooling while remaining transparent to visible light.
