COLOURED LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICE (CLC)
The aim of the project is to build a Switchable Gass panel based on Liquid Crystals technology and light polarizing principles. It will perform changing its optical properties (color, translucency and transparency) due to the application of an electrical current controlled from a computer. The CLC benefits are:
Colur is added to the conventional LC panels, and talking in sustainability terms, this color is structural rather achieved with metallic coatings or pigments added to the glass mass. This means that each component can be recovered separately since each component is made out of one material.
The project has to solve two questions, let say the hardware and the software. The former is the interactive program that controls the panel and the latter are the panel itself and the wire connections to the current source and to the computer.
