{"title":"LCD shutter - Small","handle":"lcd-shutter-small","url":"/products/lcd-shutter-small","description":"This small LCD shutter panel acts as a single-pixel LCD display that switches between transparent and opaque states. Apply 3V to polarise the panel and it goes completely black; pull the voltage low or short the terminals and it becomes transparent again. Extremely low current draw makes it easy to drive from a microcontroller.\n\nThe shutter behaves like a low-value capacitor — once energised, it holds its opaque state but slowly leaks charge and becomes transparent over time. Best viewed from directly in front, as off-angle viewing may reduce opacity slightly. The panel is made of glass with sharp corners, so handle with care.\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nOutline Dimensions – 36 × 36 × 2 mm\n\nActive Area – 31 × 33 mm\n\nOperating Voltage – 3V\n\nOperating Temperature – −10°C to 65°C\n\nStorage Temperature – −20°C to 75°C\n\nCurrent Draw – Extremely low (capacitive load)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nWearable projects and novelty sunglasses\nLight shutters and optical experiments\nInteractive displays and art installations\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× LCD Shutter Panel (Small)\n","vendor":"Pimoroni","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":7073,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PI-COM2400","price":5.99,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
