Shown below is a typical installation on a backlit LCD. The heater is
sandwiched between the backlight and the LCD. We recommend
a light diffuser between the heater and LCD if there is no diffusion
coating on the back of the LCD. Diffusion will soften and conceal
shadows cast by the heating element.
