Abstract
A heater for a display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). The heater includes a transparent film, a transparent conductive layer formed on a surface of the transparent film, and an optically clear adhesive (OCA) disposed over the conductive layer. The heater may be laminated directly to a rear transparent (e.g., glass) plate of an LC cell of the LCD using the OCA in a manner that is substantially free of air gaps or bubbles between the heater and the LC cell. Front and rear polarizers may be respectively disposed on outside surfaces of the LC cell and the heater.
