Transparent panels produce even heat

Thermal-Clear heaters can integrate temperature sensors, flex circuits, controllers or other electronics to provide a total heating solution.

Minco has released a line of flexible heaters designed to provide accurate, reliable and rapid heat in a lightweight, thin profile.

Thermal-Clear heaters feature a micro-thin wire-heating element sandwiched in between optical-grade polyester sheets.

These heaters provide reliable uniform or profiled heat patterns without blocking light.

They are ideal for heating LCDs, cockpit displays, outdoor card readers, portable military radios and computers and for optical deicing and defogging.

Etched foil or wire-wound heater elements can have uniform or profiled heat patterns.

These heaters can integrate temperature sensors, flex circuits, controllers or other electronics to provide a total heating solution.

Most dot matrix LCDs lose sharpness and response speed below 0C.

With Thermal-Clear heaters users can achieve performance at temperatures as low as -55C.

The heater is sandwiched between the backlight and the LCD in a typical installation.

An optional light diffuser will soften and conceal any shadows cast by the heater element.

Special element routing and profiling also optimises the LCDs clarity.

Thermal-Clear heaters are low-mass units and have high Watt densities for fast warm up.

Tight resistance tolerance provides constant and repeatable Wattage output for longer battery life.

Heaters can be rectangular, round or irregular shapes with uniform or profile heating patterns.

Fine wire elements deliver long life with high-performance.

The rugged polyester construction prevents damage during installation and operation.

Available in sizes of up to 280 x 560mm, they are RoHS compliant.

Options include integrated RTDs or thermistors for accurate temperature sensing, Heaterstat sensorless controller and flex circuit terminations.
