Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Heat management and color appearance are the key issues for the application of smart windows. Herein, a vibrant colored energy-saving polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film has been designed by combining dye-doping and the application of a heat shielding electrode. The LC droplet size could be varied by tuning the content of the dye. PDLC films featuring a low Disperse Orange 25 Azo dye concentration (0.06%) achieving an impressive contrast ratio of up to 101.5 with the transmittance reaching 79.17% at on state. Furthermore, indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) were chosen as the conductive layer materials, and the heat shielding properties of ITO and AZO/Ag/ITO (AAI) films were applied to PDLC devices and comparatively investigated. The AAI-based devices exhibited temperature reductions of 2 °C and 4 °C compared to the ITO-based devices at off and on states, respectively. This highlights the remarkable heat shielding performance and energy-saving capability of AAI-PDLC devices, as well as good flexibility and cycle stability. These AAI-based colored PDLC films exhibit substantial potential for smart window applications especially in buildings and automotive industry. Graphical Abstract: (Figure presented.)
