Apparatus for controlling light transmission through a window

摘要

A device for controlling light transmission through an opening in which a pair of spaced planar parallel films are placed adjacent an opening. The films are selected to have uniformly and linearly varying light transmitting characteristics and are designed to be moved relative to each other, generally in opposite directions, so that a substantially uniform degree of light transmission is achieved over the entire opening area. The films may be either absorptive or reflective and the films may be moved manually or electrically and automatically in response to a sensing and control device.
