Abstract: This paper addresses the basic functionalities and size of principal avionic displays and establishes a basis to determine the opportunities for different technology application in the harsh avionic environment. The avionic displays are specified by active area and footprint size and other characteristics such as luminance, resolution, viewing envelope, color, gray scale, night vision compatibility, sun light readability. Also, some typical requirements for avionic display properties are discussed. This paper further provides a short overview of the key technologies used in display design and their compliance with basic requirements. Once Commercial Of The Shelf - COTS concept was successfully applied to the AMLCD flat panel technology and initial issues resolved AMLCD stayed dominant technology for avionic display application, and also for covering other military display needs.
