Smart Flat Panel Multifunction Color Display (MFCD) with Positive Pilot Feedback

"Scientific Research Corporation proposes to develop a Smart Multi-Function Color Display (SMFCD) employing a color flat panel active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) and MFCD technology. This SMFCD will incorporate touch screen technology to activatesub-screens or internal systems. The activation of sub-screens or internal systems will provide the user visual and bio-mechanical feedback. The investigation into the design of the unit will select the optimum topology to incorporate positive userfeedback into SMFCD with touch screens. The implementation of touch screen technology will benefit the SMFCD in two ways; replace the existing high failure rate Bezel assembly, and allow for an increased viewable area on the display. This SMFCD will becapable of displaying mission data, navigation data, and other multifunction color display information in high performance aircraft. The SMFCD will be a form, fit, and functional (F3) replacement to the targeted MFCD on the T-45. The user-interface onthe SMFCD will be identical to the user-interface on the existing MFCD. The "Fast-Track" avenue will be pursued for this effort including signing Non Disclosure Agreements with Government approved AMLCD display manufacturers such as already having signedwith Astronautics Corporation of America. This implementation strategy of immediately designing a F3 replacement with superior reliability and upgradeable for touch screen technology repres
