Clear heaters are ideal for preventing condensation and frost on vehicle cameras, optical sensors, side view mirrors and other locations where the space for the heater to work is limited. Transparent heaters are critical for use in the challenging environments of cameras, LCDs, and optoelectronics below -10 C. Applications in avionics, cameras, LCDs, and automotive require heaters so they can operate in cold and harsh climates. The resistance of the heater determines the required heating rate and power utilization. The lower the resistance, the higher the power required and the higher the heating rate. Using a heater is the easiest solution. How do transparent heaters work This transparent heater usually consists of a transparent conductive layer of indium tin oxide (ITO), which is applied to a transparent substrate such as glass or plastic. When electricity passes through the conductive layer, it generates heat while still maintaining its transparency.
