LED backlight
The product has to be inspected by rotating it behind a polar, to visualize stress lines.
(The above appears in a paragraph describing how to inspect LED backlights. What is this "polar" mean? Or does "behind a polar" have an idiomatic meaning?)

polarizing filter
The bit "inspected by rotating it behind a polar, to visualize stress lines" suggests to me the testing of glass, plastics, and other transparent castings between pairs of polarizing filters to reveal moire and other patterns formed by internal stresses. Try taking a pair of polarizing sunglasses to a car windshield on a bright sunny day.
From the URL below: A second film in front of the LCD matrix will linearly polarize each line.

Google found only 21 hits for \"behind a polar\"--usually behind a polar front or polar bear, but including the delightfully non-native \"[Murmansk] is Small City found in northwest of Russia behind a polar circle\" at

This Canadian (only 50 degree north, mind you) would say \"above\" the Arctic Circle, but \"inside\" sounds more mathematical.
