  • HIGH-DIMMING-RATIO AVIONICS DISPLAY
    Publication number: 20220365350
    Abstract: Disclosed are dual-light-source, high dimming-ratio avionics displays with digital light processing projector technology for rendering a visual display from generated light. The dual light sources are directed towards a beam splitter adapted to pass a substantial portion of the light from the first light source and to reflect a minority portion of the light from the second light source. An image is rendered at a substantially transparent, selectively reflective substrate adapted to reflect light of a range of visible wavelengths toward a viewer of the displays.
    Type: Application
