Curtiss-Wright Introduces New Range of Dual LED Backlit Skyquest Displays
Curtiss-Wright Control Group’s, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC) has introduced the new range of Dual LED Backlit Skyquest Displays for airborne operations.
The Skyquest range is available in configurations ranging from 10.4” to 20” and consists of a new mechanism for Night Vision Goggle (NVG) filtering. It also comes with an extended colour range and disperses very low amounts of heat.
As compared to displays made from cold cathode tubes, the light from Skyquest has less degradation of the light performance. Since LED displays use solid state devices, they are more resistant to shock and can be mounted more easily than regular cathode tube technology, which uses glass tubes. The level of brightness and the lighting schemes can be controlled according to different applications in LED displays.
The Dual LED Backlit Skyquest Displays are able to deliver a unique method of NVG filtering. Unlike regular NVG filtering methods where a filter is fixed in front of the display area resulting in dim and green tinted images during daytime and night time, the Skyquest displays use a filter at the back of the LCD. The user can choose between green NVG filtered LEDs or white daylight LEDs by toggling a switch. As a result, bright full coloured images are obtained during the day and the green NVG filtered light is obtained during the night. The range of Skyquest products manufactured by the company can be used as individual displays or as a part of an intelligent multi-display management system.
