Abstract
The invention relates to a liquid crystal display, whereby a housing thereof contains a display (1) which functions as a liquid crystal cell, a support (2) which is configured as a reflector and a heating device for the display. According to the invention, the heating device is a metallic layer (8) which is applied directly to the support (2).
Claims13
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a housing;
- a liquid crystal cell functioning as display, disposed on said housing;
- a plastic support configured as reflector;
- and,
- a heating device for the display, the heating device including a metallic layer applied directly onto the support, the metallic layer being formed by coating the plastic support with a primer bonding layer followed by a subsequent galvanic coating.
