Simultaneously driven channels6 ch
Power supplyDC 24 V. AC adapter not included for international orders — see Terms below.
Power consumption60 W max.

Drive voltageInitial lot: 36 Vrms max. / Standard version: 100 Vrms max.
Drivable area, guide
(6 ch total)*1Depends on the power consumption of the switchable film you use. Use the table below as a guide*3 and confirm compatibility before installation.
| Film power consumption*2 | Initial lot*4 | Standard version |
|---|
| 3 W/m² | approx. 6 m² | approx. 13 m² |
| 4 W/m² | approx. 4.5 m² | approx. 10 m² |
| 5 W/m² | approx. 3.5 m² | approx. 8 m² |
*1 The table above is a guide based on the design values of our prototype. It may change following measurements on production units.
*2 Read “film power consumption” as the value at that film’s switching voltage and a drive frequency of 60 Hz. For the same film, the higher the drive frequency the higher the power consumption (roughly proportional to frequency).
*3 The figures are a guide for 6 ch in total. Per channel, divide the zones so that the distance from the feed busbar to the farthest point is within approximately 1.2 m (at a drive frequency of 60 Hz and a transparent-electrode sheet resistance of 100 Ω/□). Beyond that, the resistance of the electrode lowers the voltage at the far end of the sheet and transmittance may become uneven. Note that this distance is the dimension across the short side of the zone (perpendicular to the feed edge); the length along the feed edge is not limited. If you let us know the sheet resistance of the film you plan to use, we will calculate the zone dimensions for your specific case.
*4 The initial shipping lot is limited to a drive voltage of 36 Vrms. If your film’s switching voltage exceeds this, please consider the standard version (shipping planned from October 2026; the schedule is subject to change).
Because the initial lot has a lower drive-voltage ceiling, delivering the same power to the film requires a larger current. The higher current increases heat dissipation in the drive circuit, so the power that can be delivered to the film — and therefore the drivable area — is smaller than for the standard version.
* These figures are planned values, not finalised specifications, and are subject to change.

Notes
Taxes. Prices are quoted exclusive of tax. Export sales from Japan are zero-rated for Japanese consumption tax.
Shipping, duties and import taxes are payable by the customer.
PDLC film is to be provided by the customer.
Film compatibility. Before ordering, please provide the switching voltage of the film you intend to use. Orders can only be accepted where compatibility with the shipping version has been confirmed. The initial shipping lot is limited to a drive voltage of 36 Vrms; if your film requires a higher switching voltage, please consider the standard version (shipping planned from October 2026; the schedule is subject to change).
This evaluation kit is a prototype supplied for technical assessment only. It is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and is not intended for installation or continuous operation. Returns and refunds are not accepted.
On arrival. If the kit is damaged in transit or fails to power up on arrival, please notify us within 14 days of delivery and we will repair or replace it. No other returns or refunds are accepted.
Who can order. This evaluation kit is supplied to product developers, system integrators and research users only. It is not sold to consumers and is not intended for resale.
Shipping destinations. We currently ship this evaluation kit outside the EU and EEA. For enquiries from the EU/EEA, please contact us directly.
Radio compliance. The kit uses the Espressif ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 module, which holds FCC ID 2AC7Z-ESPS3WROOM1, ISED 21098-ESPS3WROOM1, an EU RED type-examination certificate and Japanese MIC certification. The assembled kit itself is not a certified end product: no FCC, CE, UKCA or other equipment authorisation has been obtained for the kit as a whole. It is supplied for evaluation only and must not be resold, incorporated into a finished product, or put into service until the approvals required in your market have been obtained. Compliance with local radio and EMC regulations is the customer’s responsibility.
Export control. Orders are subject to Japanese export control law. We may request end-use and end-user information, and may decline an order if the required confirmation or licence cannot be obtained. Re-export or diversion to military or weapons-of-mass-destruction use is prohibited.
