An expandable shutter assembly for installing shutters in windows of varying widths includes a frame that has a first section slidably engaging a second section such that the frame has an adjustable length. A plurality of shutters is each pivotally coupled to the frame, and the shutters are positionable between an open position and a closed position. Each of the shutters comprises a first portion slidably engaging a second portion such that each of the shutters has an adjustable length to correspond to the length of the frame. A linkage is movably coupled to each of the shutters and the linkage urges each of the shutters between the open position and the closed position.

A shutter is provided. First and second side rails have cavities running in a direction from top to bottom, each cavity having an opening along a lateral side. A plurality of pairs of slat supports are present, each pair having a slat support mounted in the cavity of the first rail and mounted in the cavity of the second rail. Each slat support has a first section and a second section. The first section has a shape to slide into one of the cavities, and to stack and nest with an adjacent first section of another slat support in the one of the cavities. The second section protrudes through the opening of the one of the cavities. A plurality of slats are present, each slat being mounted on the second sections of one of the pairs of slat supports.

Disclosed herein is an electrostatic shutter system including an electrostatic shutter configured to be selectively raised and lowered based on a voltage applied to the electrostatic shutter, at least one sensor system configured to detect a position of the electrostatic shutter, and a controller communicatively coupled to the electrostatic shutter and the at least one sensor system. The controller is configured to apply an initial voltage to the electrostatic shutter to lower the electrostatic shutter, receive an output signal from the at least one sensor indicating the electrostatic shutter has reached a predetermined position, and based on the received output signal from the at least one sensor, apply an updated voltage to the electrostatic shutter to hold the shutter at the predetermined position.

A shutter with a dimming capability has a frame member, a first shutter body, and a second shutter body. The first shutter body has a plurality of through apertures on a surface and at least one magnetic member disposed along two sides of the through apertures. A height of the second shutter body is shorter than a height of the first shutter body, and the second shutter body further has a plurality of horizontal channels on a surface and at least one magnet member disposed along the horizontal channels. An area of the magnet member is smaller than an area of the magnetic member. The first and second shutter bodies are combinable via the magnetic member and the magnet member and slidably mounted in the frame member such that the second shutter body is movable in the frame member.
