Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) exhibiting enhanced optical viewing performance. In a preferred embodiment, the LCD comprises a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate and an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) panel. The LCD also comprises a rear polarizer adhered to the rear of the AMLCD panel with an index-matched, pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). The LCD further comprises an indium tin oxide coating adapted for use as a heating element, the coating being applied to the front of the second glass substrate. The heating element is also adhered to the rear polarizer with a silicone-based, index-matched, optical bonding material. In addition, the LCD comprises an indium tin oxide coating usable as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, the coating being applied to the rear of the first glass substrate. The EMI shield is also adhered to the front of the AMLCD panel with the above-mentioned silicone-based bonding material.
