Electrotransparent Glass

This effect is possible thanks to a layer of liquid crystal film made from electrically conductive polymer material, which is integrated in the glass and whose crystals rearrange themselves when an alternating current is applied.

Who makes these, where do you buy them from.... and how much does a single sheet cost?

@Tjita1 those are some really cool ideas.

I want it to turn black, and I'd like for it to be possible to project images on it, with a multimedia projector. Then I would build a house with a bedroom with a curved wall consisting of nothing but this kind of glass, so during the day you can have the best view ever, but in the night or morning you can lay in bed and watch your 500 inch television. It would also be nice if the tint was infinitely variable, so you can let the light in slowly in the morning.
