Abstract: An aircraft cockpit display system comprises a display device configured to be secured to a user's head, a sensor for sensing the position, orientation and/or acceleration of the user's head and a display computer controlling the display on the display device of at least one first consistently displayed symbol and of at least one second non-consistently displayed symbol. The display computer determines an angular velocity value of the user's head based on information provided by the sensor and controls the display on the display device in a first display mode when the angular velocity value is less than or equal to a predetermined angular velocity threshold and in a second display mode if not. In the second display mode, the visibility of the second piloting assistance symbol to the pilot is less than the visibility of the second piloting assistance symbol in the first display mode.

Abstract: The cockpit of an aircraft comprises a head-up display, a display computer configured to control the display of information on the head-up display and a system for measuring the position of the eyes of a pilot of the aircraft. The display computer is configured to receive from the measuring system the position of the pilot's eyes, when the pilot is located in the cockpit, position information on the pilot's eyes, compare the received position of the pilot's eyes with an acceptable volume for the position of the pilot's eyes; and if the received position of the pilot's eyes is not included within the acceptable volume, determining a direction in which the pilot would need to move his/her eyes in order to bring the position of the eyes back into the acceptable volume, and controlling the display of an indication on the head-up display, indicating the direction to the pilot.

Abstract: The display system for an aircraft cockpit comprises a display computer configured to control the display, on a display device worn rigidly attached to a user's head, according to a first display mode comprising at least one piece of flight assistance information for the aircraft, and a masking device, associated with a cockpit side window, controllable between a transparent and opaque states. The display system comprises an extended display mode, in which the display computer is configured to determine whether a direction corresponding to the user's head orientation has an intersection with a region of interest of the side window, in the absence of an intersection, controlling the display according to the first display mode, and when there is an intersection, controlling the masking device opaque state and controlling the display according to a second display mode comprising a virtual display screen on a side window display area.

Abstract: The display system for a cockpit of an aircraft comprises a transparent display device and a display computer. The transparent display device includes a brightness masking device that can be commanded according to at least three predetermined levels of opacity in at least four masking independent zones. The display system includes a brightness sensor. The display computer is configured to determine a level of brightness due to the light source, in display zones corresponding to each of the masking zones, depending on information coming from the brightness sensor; determine an opacity level associated with each of the masking zones, depending on the brightness level determined, such that a higher level of opacity corresponds to a higher level of brightness; and command the opacity level in each of the masking zones of the brightness masking device.

Abstract: A display control system for a display mounted fixedly on the head of a user in an aircraft cockpit generates a video signal to be displayed by the display on the basis of piloting assistance information to be presented to the user in the form of a graphical object. The display control system includes electronic circuitry configured to intermittently change the geometric form and/or the color of one or more parts of the graphical object. It is thus possible to combat effects of binocular rivalry.

Abstract: A display system for a cockpit of an aircraft comprises a display device configured to be secured to a user's head in the cockpit of the aircraft. A display computer is configured to control the display of information on the display device. The display computer is configured to determine a distance between the head of the user and an element of the cockpit intersecting with a direction corresponding to a current orientation of the head of the user, when the user looks inside the cockpit, and to control a virtual display distance of the display device, corresponding to the distance between the head of the user and the element of the cockpit.

Abstract: A display system for an aircraft cockpit comprises a display device configured to be secured to a user's head, a sensor to determine an orientation of the user's head, and a display computer. The computer is configured to control the display of information relating to the flight of the aircraft on the display device, to acquire information on the user's head orientation, to determine an angular offset value between a direction corresponding to the head orientation and a longitudinal axis of the aircraft, to evaluate at least one condition as a function of the angular offset value, and to control the display device display in accordance with a first display mode when the condition is verified, this first display mode corresponding to a display comprising at least one aircraft piloting assistance symbol displayed in a conforming manner, and another display mode when the condition is not verified.

Abstract: A display system and method for an aircraft including a head wearable display device, a display computer, a sensor of position and orientation of the user head and a database of interior cockpit geometry. In a procedures management assistance mode, the display computer can receive, from a procedures management computer, at least one item of information relating to a first control element of the cockpit. The display computer can determine a position of display of a symbol on the display device, as a function of the position of the first control element, acquired from the database and from information regarding position and orientation of the head of the user in the cockpit acquired from the sensor, such that this symbol is visible by the user, superimposed on the first control element. The display computer can command the display of the symbol on the display device.
