What do you think of this LCD plate cover...(video)
Hey guys im just curious to know what you think of this Liquid Crystal Plate cover i made...i currently own a window and door business and i have access to all types of products in the industry...i recently got connected with a company and were working together on manufacturing and distributing liquid crystal glass...
with all that said, i just recieved a sample from them and i was thinking of lots of ways to implement this technology on homes and then i began to think about cars...i made an LCD plate cover that goes from completely transparent to completely blurred at the flick of a switch with an applied electrical current..alot of the car guys are loving it and want this made for them...this glass doesnt come cheap but there still lovin it...let me know what you think of it...heres the vids of it..this is only a sample and not the finished product...i will still clean it up and make a sleek mounting bracket for it...oh and as far as legality? i will clearly state that this is for "off road use only"...enjoy!

i dont have exact pricing for it yet because were still finishing the testing phase and we need some custom parts made (custom brackets etc.) in order to make this look clean and presentable...what this kit will come with is...
custom glass cut to plate size with applied LCD film and wiring installed within 6mm thick glass.
a power inverter to convert to 12v
bracket to mount the glass into
switch to mount into the interior of your car
shipping will be included to all united states and canada
the ballpark amount will be $285 or $290 shipped according to all my calculations..this price is NOT set in stone yet until the complete kit is assembled and tested..
there are alot of guys out there that are creative and electronically inclined to do their own custom work so they just want the basic and they do everything else themselves..some guys also say they already have an inverter and can make their own bracket etc... in this case i will sell the glass all wired,assembled,and ready to go for $240 usd or so shipped...again this is ballpark and NOT set in stone, but that is a very close guess to what it will be...

I have seen them used in high line bathrooms and shower doors.
Also it would be cool if you can get a dark smoke out. Then you can sell them ass room darkeners.

yes your exactly right, they are used on high end clubs,buildings etc...they are used on boardrooms, bathrooms, offices and banks aswell...we are working on a couple different types of glass right now and room darkening glass is one of them aswell, even glass that becomes one way mirror aswell...

i can do them any size you need it pretty much...the only thing you need is an electrician that can also work on windows to do the work for you, its not that hard to do for a window installer, especially if its indoors...

i will let you know as soon as i get it completely finished and then ill start collecting deposits...keep showing interest guys because ill have to dump a total 5k into this investment to get it going smoothly. thats the minimum i have to put to get this stuff because of the amount of work involved in making this...once i see good interest ill sink in that investment and ill be able to make this stuff in any shape or size for anyone!

With the gas prices going up, with around a 300 dollar investment, you can get all the free gas you want.

What will you offer for front&rear license plates..Those of us in NJ have to have two plates...
Also, consider making the switch wireless, perhaps something that can be put onto the keychain to flip it on/off to be disguised as a keyless entry remote for another vehicle. Another reason this is beneficial, I dont know about the other members, but I'm not crazy about running wires and install random switches in my luxury car, maybe for a sports car, but not a 50k luxury car.

hmmmm you definately have a pretty dam good point there..i was thinking of making a wireless remote or switch but then i already figured that some guys were getting a little nervous about this plate getting pricy...now that i think of it ill try to make 2 versions of it for guys like you...thanks for the heads up because i wouldnt want to be messin with an interior of a 50k+ car either...
here in Canada we need to have both plates aswell...i cant knock off too much money if you need 2, because its the glass itself thats expensive but i can probably knock off about 30-40 dollars if 2 are bought and shipped to the same adress, how does that sound?..at the same time, if your planning on putting this on your car, then you would might as well just remove the front plate, afterall whos going to nail you for not having one when they wont even see the back one hahaha!...and itll save you a couple hundred aswell j/k! ill definately try to work out a deal on multiple purchases though!

also for all guys that are inclined and can custom make their own bracket to mount this...i can sell these to you right now!!,and ill knock off 20 bucks,so you can have it for 265 shipped right now! the bracket is the only other thing needed for me to get this off the ground but my fabricator needs a week or 2 to get it all done...just remember..you need to mount this plate 2-3 inches away from your plate so that the numbers and letters arent visible at all in any way, so make sure to add a spacer.
this glass reflects alot of light so dont worry about cars flashing their lights on you and exposing the plate because light actually makes this plate become even more opaque because it reflects and makes it impossible to see through it, thats the beauty of this stuff...i love it!!Last edited by bigguy20; 06-30-2008 at 03:50 PM.

oh it works, you have to install it right and it only works on the right car based on height of the camera and vehicle...it is also illegal now up here so if you get caught you get a ticket and they take it off and its like 40 bucks,.....hahaha

no thats the cheaper garbage stuff that you can buy for like 20 bucks...this is an LCD glass and not a cheap appliable film, this stuff is built right into the glass and works electronically...it doesnt matter what height, what angle or light that hits it..this stuff works no matter what..it just has to be installed about 2 inches away from the plate so you cant see the letters/numbers..i only deal the good stuff ...there is a huuuuge difference between this technology and that sticky stuff that people might have seen on myth busters or on e-bay for cheap..

All we need now, is a "fake" color skin for a car. Like after you do something "bad", you peel off the skin for your car which is a different color then the orginal and get away scotch free.

LOL, yeah we need that down here since our toll roads haven't picked up on the electronic transponders resulting in hundreds of licenses being suspended for running tolls because they have cameras that take pics of the tags that the transponders don't work on.

Thanks
Chris

sorry guys!!! ive been going crazy as hell trying to find the best priced fabricator for this bracket...all the fabricators in my area wanted so much money up front and a minimum purchase of 100 brackets!
i finally found someone to make me a prototype and hes working on it as we speak, just this prototype alone will cost me 450 just for the bracket design! then ill need to buy a minimum of 30 brackets in order to get them at 50 dollars a piece...this means it will bring the price just a bit higher than 300 dollars which isnt too bad but i want to keep the price as reasonable as possible for all you guys...im sorry i havent gotten back to you all right away because ive been going crazy trying to get this all in order and finished...the brackets are going to look awsome though and they will be finished off with powdercoating free of charge for now just so i can get these things selling and build a good rep for myself.
thanks so much for your patience as im just trying to make these things look as good as possible..if you guys have any questions or coments feel free to post them or toss me a line at [email protected] as ill be checking that e-mail like 3 times a day..
Thanks again for your patience everyone!
oh and by the way guys if you feel like you can do up a bracket yourself and want one asap just subtract 50 bucks and itll be a 2-3 week waiting period for it! i have everything else all lined up and ready to go except the bracket...
