2. Smart glass - Wikipedia

   Electrodes from a power supply are attached to the transparent electrodes. With no applied voltage, the liquid crystals are randomly arranged in the droplets, resulting in scattering of light as it passes through the smart window assembly. This results in the translucent, "milky white" appearance.

   In other words, a translucent material is made up of components with different indices of refraction. A transparent material is made up of components with a uniform index of refraction. [1] Transparent materials appear clear, with the overall appearance of one color, or any combination leading up to a brilliant spectrum of every color.

   Walls made of glass brick are translucent-to-transparent. Traditionally they are hollow and grouted with a fine concrete grout, but some modern glass brick walls are solid cast glass [22] grouted with a transparent glue. [23] [24] If the glue matches the refractive index of the glass, the wall can be fairly transparent.
