An Evaluation of Aircraft CRT and Dot-Matrix Display Legibility Requirements
Abstract
Pilot satisfaction with the legibility performance of the absorption bandpass filtered green P-43 phosphor cathode ray tube (CRT) electronic displays employed in the F-15, F-16 and F-18 aircraft, prior to 1980 has been used in this report as a basis for establishing minimum luminance and contrast requirements for both CRT and dot-matrix electronic aircraft displays. The data drawn on and the methods used to derive the alphanumeric, graphic and video information legibility requirements that should as a minimum be met by aircraft electronic display portrayals under direct sunlight, glare source and other high ambient viewing conditions are described. The sunlight readability/legibility requirements and tests of the night vision imaging system (NVIS) compatibility specification MIL-L-85762 were in part founded on the data contained in this report.
