Do you have suggestions on what sort of "antenna" to use to pick up the LCD AC
E-field? I'd expect the LCD drive current to be vanishing small.
Many turns of fine magnet wire going all the way around the device.
As a E-field antenna that's not that good, as you need to see both
polarities. Tossing a wire around like that would sense a little too
much of both, so it will cancel out.
A typical E-field antenna is a coax cable, stripped of wire, possibly
with a ball attached to increase the area.
H-field can make use of one or more loops before reaching the ground.
The near-field H-probe is two loops, wired such that long-distanced
fields cancels, but high-gradient fields is picked up. You should be
able to do the same for E-field, essentially three fields, with the
outer two being hooked to ground and the middle one to amp.

Magnus
