[Elecraft] What film?

[Bob Nielsen]

The front of the LCD has a polarizing strip as well as a thin
protective film over that.  The polarizing strip has a black border and
is attached to the glass of the LCD itself.  The protective film is
very thin and hard to distinguish, but is the same size as the
polarizing strip and once you find the edge, it peels right off.  Be
careful that you don't remove the polarizing strip, or the display will
be almost impossible to read (I that found out the hard way!)

Do not remove the white covering on the back either.
