Merck has rolled out a new product called eyrise i350 or windows that can be switched from clear to opaque on demand, the company said Thursday.
The eyrise i350 invisible privacy glazing window is powered by Merck s licrivision liquid crystal technology. The liquid crystal solution is placed between two glass sheets coated with a transparent conductive film. When prompted by a low voltage, the direction of the liquid crystals shifts and moves from a random position to a well-organized orientation in a second. By scattering the light, the glass switches from a transparent to an opaque state to provide complete and instant privacy on demand, the company said.

The Niemeyer Sphere – one of the final designs of renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer – has opened in Germany. Key to realizing his vision was our eyrise liquid crystal dynamic glass technology.
Renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer was hailed as a great artist and one of the greatest architects of his generation. In 2020, what’s believed to be one of his final designs was inaugurated in Leipzig, Germany.
Known as the Niemeyer Sphere, this stunning building is based on a sketch drawn by Niemeyer in 2011, at the age of 104. The sketches were further developed by his assistant Jair Valera, with the project then executed by Harald Kern architects.
