A privacy glass system, comprising:
- at least one LED;
- an LED driver coupled to the at least one LED;
- a controller coupled to the LED driver;
- an assembly including at least a first transparent material, a second transparent material, and a diffuser disposed between the first transparent material and the second transparent material and having an edge and an edge portion, the at least one LED configured to light the edge of the diffuser;
- and
- a frame defining a recess and an infinity edge, the edge portion of the diffuser being disposed within the recess of the frame, the infinity edge of the frame being disposed a non-zero distance from a portion of the assembly closest to the infinity edge of the frame, the first transparent material and the second transparent material not disposed within the recess of the frame,
- the controller is configured to control the LED driver to drive the at least one LED to define a degree of opacity of the diffuser.
