This first-of-its-kind tutorial on military displays begins with a
discussion of fundamentals and leads to an understanding of how
displays used by the U.S. Armed Forces differ from their
counterparts in the civil sector. Advanced undergraduate students,
graduate students, beginning display industry professionals, or
anyone who wants to know about display fundamentals with an eye to
military applications and the military market will benefit from the
detailed information herein. In a simple building-block approach,
fundamental concepts such as the lumen, luminous intensity, and
illuminance are reviewed, and the author progresses with a
discussion of the many display technologies, such as CRT, AMLCD,
and AMOLED, as well as display subcomponents, such as backlights,
polarizers, and dimming circuitry, before ending with an exposition
of the military market itself. The latter includes an
identification of performance parameter values, not only for the
broad arena of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, but also tracked
and wheeled vehicles, dismounted soldiers, and command and control
facilities.
