ADJUSTABLY OPAQUE FILM FOR SUBSTANTIALLY SMOOTH SURFACE
First Claim
1. An adjustably opaque film for applying over substantially smooth surface comprising:
- a) a first substantially flexible and transparent confining film having an inner surface and an outer surface;
b) a second substantially flexible and transparent confining film having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surfaces of the first and second confining films form a confined space layer; and
c) one or more light transmission control layer for controlling the intensity and frequency range of the transmitting light.

Abstract
An adjustably opaque film, including substantially flexible/transparent confining films and light transmission control layers, is provided. The inner surfaces of the first and second confining films form a confined space layer with substantially constant thickness. The adjustably opaque film is applied on a window panel which is already installed like a regular window pane on a building or an automobile. The film is not sandwiched between two window panels or panes. The film is adapted to be applied on a surface of window panels. The film is substantially flexible enough to be able to be easily handled and applied on the window panel in conventional construction site conditions. The interval between the first and second confining films is from about one (1) millimeter to about two (2) millimeters, which is an important point along with the flexibility.
