The In-Depth Dialogue between BenQ Materials Smart Optical Film and Lighting Control

Imagine a corner at the hotel lobby where the daylight penetrates the chink of swaying bamboo leaves to shine at the hallway and makes the space surrounding the paintings on the wall immersed in the aesthetic atmosphere. The light illuminating from the corner quietly melt itself into the daylight, not to destroy the serenity of the morning, but to softly embellish the whole guest hall. On the other hand, in the rooms, at the moment as the lights are switched on, the matte window glasses flash to be see-through and the glamorous panoramic natural views outside therefore look like an artwork framed by the windows. As time goes, along with the sunset, a kind of Japanese-styled calmness and restrain radiates as the light in the building gradually glooms. The glasses shift from see-through effect to matte effect again, making the reflections of the extraordinary scenery on the windows a perfect part of the low-profile architecture.



Lighting in the bathroom and at the entrance, is the key to create different atmosphere for rest and shower-taking. In addition, smart glasses controlled by switches are one of the pivotal factors to the scenario changes as they are able to create various lighting effects within a space by powering the switches on and off. Take the artwork appreciation in the hallway for example. Smart glasses allow customers to stay indoors to enjoy the outdoor vitality and protect enough privacy as well in the meanwhile.



Smart glasses, able to deliver changes among see-through and matte effects, successfully help protect privacy and easily realize the applications to different scenarios within the same space. By powering the switches on and off, it is feasible to distinguish day and night effects. Switch control is obviously an important factor in different scenarios as the atmosphere change and the realization of the smart life just relies on the one click on the switch. 



The Smart Optical Film of BenQ Materials delivers different day and night scenarios given its unique switchable film embedded in the glasses, offering various lighting applications for users to record every special moment as the unforgettable snapshot of life. BenQ Materials Smart Optical Film is not just a functional material, but also serves as a media to lead people to feel, enjoy and interact with the space around them. The BenQ Materials Day in July invites Lite-Puter, the leading lighting control system expert, to give an in-depth dialogue and interaction to stimulate more imagination about what lighting could make

*Smart Optical Film
Smart Optical Film is a key component of the switchable glass and smart glass commonly used in light-weight partition. Like the household-used lighting switches, the Smart Film displays see-through and matte effects when powered on/off, which protects privacy at home as well as allows extensive and clear visions. Smart Film is easily facilitated and free of limitation of glass shapes, applicable to external windows, glass curtain and arc corners in various kinds of space in both the residential and commercial buildings.

*STARTEK Day
The STARTEK Day is a forum held in STARTEK’s showroom by BenQ Materials and STARTEK, aiming to create a space for feature material experts and interior designers to develop in-depth dialogues and creative ideas regarding smart films and building materials. Listening to the point-of-views from construction industry, the STARTEK Day expects to explore future possibilities of combining smart films and architecture design.
