Viewing conditions

Strong and bright light levels inside a room will make SwitchView™ appear hazy when viewing from the outside. The highest level of transparency and lowest level of haze is achieved when positioned at a direct angle.

As the viewing angle becomes wider, the level of haze Increases. Lighting factors might also increase reflection, which can disturb optical properties.

Haze: Min. 2.1%

Haze (Off-axis @ 45 degrees): 9-12%

Viewing the glass at angles of 50 degrees and more will have higher levels of haze.
