DNP’s Electronic Shade
In particular, there is a growing need for thinner and lighter shade mechanisms for sunroofs and side windows, particularly in battery-powered EVs, to ensure a larger interior space, and light control film are attracting attention as a technology that can meet this need. DNP's light control film are capable of instantaneous dimming, and their major strength is their energy-saving performance compared to other technologies and products. In addition, by achieving a natural black color when blocking light, they create a calming atmosphere in the interior of the vehicle and achieve a high level of design that harmonizes with the vehicle's exterior. Although they are a film, their glass-like clarity reduces stress for occupants, creating an in-car environment in which the driver and passengers can feel comfortable.
