Can I run my PDLC for 24 hours or more?

Yes, you can run Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) film for 24 hours continuously, but there are some considerations to ensure its longevity and performance:

1. Power Supply Stability: Use a stable power source that matches the voltage and frequency requirements of the PDLC film. Voltage fluctuations can damage the film or its electronics.

2. Heat Generation: Continuous operation generates heat, which could reduce the film’s lifespan if not managed properly. Ensure the surrounding temperature is within the film’s specified operating range, usually around -20°C to 60°C.

3. Durability: High-quality PDLC films are designed for extended use. However, prolonged usage over months or years may slightly degrade performance over time. If you plan 24/7 operation regularly, confirm the specific model’s durability with the manufacturer.

4. Environmental Factors: Avoid exposure to excessive moisture, direct sunlight, or chemicals that could harm the film.

5. Intermittent Usage: If possible, consider turning off the film during downtime to reduce wear and energy consumption.
