  • Self-contained multifunctional LCD flight indicator
    Patent number: 5896098
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display flight indicator unit having the capability to display a horizontal situation indicator (HSI) or an attitude direction indicator (ADI) on the viewing area of the same unit. Signals from existing aircraft electronics are processed to determine whether the incoming signal is an HSI or ADI graphical image to be displayed on the viewing area. A unique component layout is described to enable HSI and ADI to be contained within a unit having a chassis size not larger than previously known HSI and ADI units.

  • High speed graphics fill of liquid crystal display
    Patent number: 5872553
    Abstract: A method is provided for creasing the speed at which a graphics image is displayed on a raster, such as in a liquid cryistal display. The method incorporates off-line created look-up tables which are stored in memory means associated with a graphics processor unit. Thus, real time calculations are reduced resulting in a fasted graphics image response time.

  • Method to change the viewing angle in a fixed liquid crystal display by changing the pre-tilt angle in the liquid crystal layer with a bias voltage
    Patent number: 5835074
    Abstract: The invention describes a method for electronically adjusting the viewing angle of a liquid crystal display within a panel fixed in location by the structure within which it is located, such as an electronic flight indicator unit. The adjustment in viewing angle is achieved by changing the bias voltage to alter the pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal layer.
