Aircraft Display System

Testing OLEDs, LEDs, and LCDs

Aircraft displays come in a wide variety, including Primary Flight Display (PFD), Navigation Display (ND), and passenger entertainment systems. These displays utilize LCD, LED, and OLED technology and must be evaluated and inspected to ensure optimal performance, visibility, and legibility. This evaluation includes assessing brightness, color uniformity, mura, pixel and line defects, view angle performance, and more. Konica Minolta with Radiant Vision Systems offers a comprehensive range of measurement solutions featuring high-precision Spectrophotometer CS-3000 series, Display Color Analyzer CA-410 series, and ProMetric® Imaging Colorimeter or Photometer. These measurement solutions effectively evaluate and inspect LCDs, LEDs, and OLEDs, including backlight units (BLUs) and LCD modules.
