I believe the images themselves pretty much sum up the capability of this technology. Made by Micro Reactor System, the curtain is basically two flexible panels with liquid crystal molecules in between, which renders the screen from transparent to opaque upon activation.
Similar technologies are already in use in the public, but this one has the advantage of being flexible. And that could mean doors opened for many new possibilities. What clever ideas do you have? Tell us.

this is nothing too new, they have been using this technology in sunroofs for luxury cars for a while now.

Shop windows and doors would be cool. How about on aeroplanes so you don’t have to fiddle around with those plastic flaps on the windows…

Toilet doors? No more wondering if there’s someone inside…
