Korry’s new-generation KDM display modules features backlighting from an array of LEDs, instead of the fluorescent light source of traditional units. Units will be available for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2008. LED lighting offers significant advantages:
| |
|
 |
Very high reliability from long-life, solid-state LEDs |
|
No risk of backlight hard failure: LED array provides light-source redundancy |
|
Reduced weight |
|
Compact packaging, the smallest of any 4x5-inch and 6x8-inch display modules on the market |
|
Cooler operating temperature |
|
Lower power consumption |
|
No high voltage in drive circuitry, eliminating the risk of shock |
|
Virtually instant warm-up |
|
Full night-vision compliance (NVIS Class B) |
|
Vivid primary colors |
|
Very wide viewing angle |
| |
 |
| |
| KDM series high-efficiency color displays for avionics with fluorescent backlights |
Display integration has never been simpler: Korry supplies the displays, you perform the integration. Our KDM (Korry Display Module) displays are available off the shelf in eight standard sizes, with advanced features normally found only in custom units.
| |
|
|
Minimized power consumption and efficient heat management for demanding environments |
|
High luminance and contrast, with options for optical customization |
|
Optional night-vision versions compliant with MIL-L-85762, Class B, Type I/II, multicolor displays |
|
Strict quality assurance through automated testing and environmental stress screening |
|
MTBF 50 percent higher than that of competing products |
|
Ruggedized lamination of low-reflectance ITO-heater glass in Class 100 clean room |

Advantages of AMLCD displays for aerospace
Korry AMLCD displays provide significant advantages over CRTs in glass cockpit integration and other aerospace applications that require real-time situation awareness in a limited space:
| |
|
 |
Reduced weight, volume, and cabling |
|
Larger usable display surface for a given envelope |
|
Lower power requirements |
|
Increased reliability and improved fault tolerance |
|
Improved uniformity in brightness and resolution across the display |
|
Improved dimmability |
|
Reduced color desaturation and washout |
|
Improved night-vision compatibility (NVIS and NVG) |
| |
|
Korry AMLCD displays also have optical advantages over the multiplexed LCD displays commonly used in commercial applications. Multiplexing causes the pixel activation current to bleed into surrounding pixels, degrading image speed, contrast, and brightness. In AMLCDs, however, each pixel is activated by its own thin-film transistor without affecting adjacent pixels.
Drawing on decades of experience in optics and operator interface design, Korry has enhanced the inherent advantages of AMLCD technology by optimizing the backlighting and filtering of its displays to meet commercial requirements for sunlight readability as well as military requirements for both sunlight readability and night-vision compatibility.
Korry AMLCD products are the solution of choice for integrated cockpit instruments, multifunction display systems, air traffic control displays, and military flat-panel displays. |
