Thermal-Clear™ Transparent Heaters

Thermal-Clear™ transparent heaters feature a micro-thin wire heating element laid in a pattern between optical grade polyester sheets. Thermal-Clear™ heaters provide accurate, reliable heat without blocking light.

Benefits of Thermal-Clear Heaters 

• Custom heater element routing and profiling optimizes the visual clarity of the LCD and prevents “shadowing”
• Tight resistance tolerance provides constant and repeatable wattage output for longer battery life
• Low mass and high watt density offers faster warm up time needed for immediate LCD response in cold weather operation
• Rugged materials prevent costly damage during installation and handling
