Overheadfolie


Explanation:
Vom Kontext (Präsentation) her dürfte es passen. Laut Wikipedia ist Overheadfolie (=Folie für die Tageslichtprojektion) jedoch transparency. Ob dies ein Zeichen dafür ist, das der Text von einem Nichtmuttersprachler verfaßt wurde, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Obwohl, ich vermute eigentlich eher nicht, wenn ich mir den Rest des Satzes ansehe.
