Abstract: 
In present-day industry more and more problems on quality testing are solved by thermal imaging method. Modern thermal imagers can not only measure object temperature but also convert it to picture that represents thermal field distribution along the investigated object surface. There are great benefits, especially in the case of transparent thin film heaters quality testing. In this paper some results of temperature distribution investigations by thermal imaging method are discussed. This non-destructive remote testing method is characterized by satisfactory temperature resolution (0.2 K), high productivity and possibility to store and compare obtained results in easy for perception form. The suitability of this method is shown on the example of TN LCDs heater testing.
