The back-lit Active Matrix-Liquid Crystal Display(AM-LCD) is enjoying increasing popularity as the technology of choice for multi-function displays in next generation air and ground vehicle crew-stations. As the developers of this technology continue to hurdle the present cost and process limitations, it is anticipated that the AM-LCD method will lend itself effectively to all conventional direct view applications. Further, the AM-LCD process does offer a potential growth path toward the panoramic crew stations, possessing large-area, high density (projection mode) and autostereoscopic attributes.It is therefore probable that an all AM-LCD crew-station will become an accepted norm for a broad range of applications within the foreseeable future.In concurrent developments we are experiencing a rapid growth in the pilotage/operations ofmilitary vehicles utilizing night vision aids. The harmonization ofAM-LCD Information Systems with such Night Vision Equipment (NVE) in an optimal fashion poses an interesting challenge for the equipment developer, crew-station designer and ultimately the end-user.Wearenowat thedemonstration phase ofthe firstgeneration ofintegratedAM-LCDINVE systems, which allow all interested parties to appreciate the subtle interplays existing between the two technologies.To further facilitate this optimization process the paper seeks to: -Summarize the basic precepts of the back-lit AM-LCD pertinent to NVE operation -
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
