These particles block light, but when the power is on, they get aligned and the window magically get transparent again.

These small particles, in their natural state, are in randomized positions. They both block and diffuse light this way. Once you charge them, they change their positions and pass the light through. When the power is off, the window is white and you cannot see through it, if you switch it on, it looks just like any other window. You could also choose the transparency level, if you want.
