  • Patent number: 9950340
    Abstract: Provided are a transparent heat-insulating material including a transparent heat-insulating resin layer including polymer capsules and an optical resin, and a method for preparing the same. The transparent heat-insulating material may reduce the transmission of radiative heat of solar radiation energy entering from the exterior, and prevent discharge or loss of heat when indoor heating, while showing high transparency as well. In addition, the transparent heat-insulating material may allow easy control of the size of capsules contained in a transparent heat-insulating film, and may be obtained through a simple and easy process. Further, it is possible to control the light transmittability and heat-insulating property of the transparent heat-insulating material with ease.

  • Publication number: 20150261021
    Abstract: Disclosed are a liquid crystal film having a reflecting region that changes spontaneously depending on variations in external temperature and light intensity, and a method for manufacturing the same. More particularly, the liquid crystal film has a reflecting region that changes into a visible ray region when the external temperature and light intensity increase and into a near infrared ray region when the external temperature and quality of light decrease.
