NeF manufacturers two types of commonly used transparent heaters. One type is made from indium tin oxide (ITO) sputtered on a optical grade polyester film. The other is made using a micro-thin wire heating element laid in a pattern between clear substrate materials. Transparent clear heaters are designed to work with LCD panels in cold and moist environments. Normally one Watt of heat per square inch will maintain LCD's operating properly in temperatures as low as -40°C.

Optical grade adhesive can be laminated to the back of the transparent heater for easy on site installing in front or behind the LCD panel. Let us laminate the transparent heater to your application. NeF transparent heaters deliver required heat without blocking the light.
