CRT display technology is well-established and is still prevalent in maintaining effective flight operations. Dave Ketchum looks at the science behind CRT display technology in aircraft. Being able to pilot an aircraft requires having confidence in the onboard technology. One type of technology that is frequently used for this purpose, and has been for many years, is the cathode ray ...

Organic thin-film transistors offer a new route to making MicroLED displays accessible, says Simon Ogier. One of the major themes for displays at CES 2024 was the demonstration by a number of vendors of new, large sized MicroLED TVs and signage. Samsung, for example, showcased its range of MicroLED TVs starting at 76in and moving up to a huge 140in ...

Zytronic has introduced a round touch display module which can be mounted onto a wall or integrated into a table. “Designers can take advantage of Zytronic’s in-house glass processing capabilities to add surface carved joggle-wheels, buttons and sliders that offer users an enhanced tactile and responsive touch experience.,” according to the company. “In addition, Zytronic’s bespoke glass printing services can ...

Review Display Systems is stocking three large format reflective e-paper display modules, battery-powered and IP65 sealed for outdoor use for bus stop signage among other applications. The largest, a 31.2 inch monochrome display, can run for 50 hours on its internal 15Ah battery and also has a solar panel – consumption while the image is static is <10mW said RDS, ...

Inelco Hunter is stocking a 5inch screen with glove-touch electronics and a 3mm toughened front glass. “The touch display is particularly suitable to outdoor environments where a bright, rugged screen is required, or where the user will be wearing gloves, such as hospital and factory settings,” according to Inelco. Potential uses are not limited to industry, environment, energy, electric vehicles, ...

A new take on the concept of digital twins was announced by Nvidia at its developer conference in San Jose this week, as founder and CEO, Jensen Huang announced that the company’s Omniverse Cloud will be available as APIs (application programming interfaces). Customers will be able to use these APIs to design, simulate, test and build physically based digital twins ...

Demonstrations of automotive technology at CES paved the way for autonomous driving and emphasised the role of sensors and AI in vehicle systems, reports Caroline Hayes. Automotive radar has been described as one of the most significant additions to vehicles in the past two decades. In a 3D form, measuring azimuth (horizontal angle) distance and velocity, radar is used in ...

Alps Alpine has launched a touchless capacitive overlay to add proximity control to 15.6inch displays. Detection range is 50 – 80mm for hand or finger proximity, 30 – 50mm to select an action and 0-30mm to activate an action. “Capacitive touch panels offer intuitive input and control. The flipside is that normal capacitive touch panel input is obstructed by wet ...

Innovations in flexible display technology have led to the development of screens that can bend, curve and even roll, opening up new design possibilities, says Shankar Nishant. Flexible display technology can apply to various applications, from smartphones and wearables to automotive displays. Flexible displays have come a long way since the first curved screens and recent developments have made it ...

Using Arduino’s recently introduced Giga R1 WiFi CPU board and need a human interface? The Giga Display Shield (plug-in board) might fit the bill. It adds a 3.97inch 480 x 800 RGB touchscreen, digital microphone (MP34DT06JTR by ST), six-axis IMU (Bosch BMI270 inertial measurement unit), an RGB LED and a camera connector. Touch on the display is five-point + gesture, ...
