Use of Color CRTs(Cathode Ray Tubes) in Aircraft Cockpits: A Literature Search. Revision B

Abstract

A literature search was conducted to assess the utility and feasibility of incorporating color cathode ray tubes (CRTs) in military aircraft cockpits and is presented in annotated bibliography format. The advantages and disadvantages of color CRTs are reviewed. It is concluded that the incorporation of color on aircraft CRTs will prove beneficial and that potential problems associated with the use of color displays can be eliminated with proper display design and the advancement of technology. Keywords: Information processing, Symbol detection, Dark adaptation, Color cathode ray tube, Color coding, Symbol detection, Shadow mask CRT, Contrast.
