Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal, a material composed of liquid crystal droplets dispersed within a polymer matrix. When an electric field is applied, the liquid crystals align, allowing light to pass through; without the field, they scatter light, making the material opaque. This technology is used in smart glass windows and privacy screens.
