Cross-Cockpit Collimated Displays for Flight Simulation

VDC Display Systems proposes an innovative approach to develop and to commercialize a large-area, large field-of-view, multi-viewer, collimated display system for flight simulation. To address some key issues associated with current flight simulation systems, such as high maintenance cost, difficulty in installation, alignment and calibration for image and color matching between individual display channels, the innovative system is characterized with implementation of a spherical video screen built by customized tricolor SMT (surface-mount) LED modules, to replace multiple projectors and the spherical screen currently used in traditional flight simulators, while keeping the collimating mirror, to achieve substantial improvement in image performance, higher contrast and brightness, system efficiency, and overall cost reduction.
