Development of a Color Alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display. Volume 2.

Abstract

This report encompasses efforts directed toward the development of a multicolor display suitable for aircraft command and control applications. The approach taken was to superimpose the images from two 175 x 175 element matrix liquid crystal displays using a dichroic beam splitter such that one display formed a red image while the other display formed a green image. The two displays were illuminated by a Xenon arc lamp and the combined image was projected onto a screen. The resulting display presented red, yellow, and green symbology with high brightness (3300 fL for yellow), high contrast (14:1 for yellow), and good color purity, (greater than 90% for all colors).
