Lichtkasten

Explanation:
Per Tillmann, FWB Hörfunk und Fernsehen:
light box - Lichtkasten or Lichtfeld

Richter, FWB Optik, Foto, Video:
light box - Leuchtkasten

The term Lichtkasten is also used in radiology (it's the lighted box on which the physician studies x-rays). Unless I misread your context, that's exactly what is meant here.
