The Rockwell Collins 5x5 Flat Panel Color Display (FPCD) is the newest
addition to the Rockwell Collins cockpit display product line. The initial
application for this full color, NVIS compatible display product is on the
USAF F-15E, where it replaces the existing 5" CRT color displays. The
5x5 FPCD uses a military avionics AMCLD. It provides a sunlight readable,
high resolution display with excellent contrast and uniformity. It has been
designed to provide the pilot optimal performance when used to display critical mission
and situational awareness information including digital map, FLIR Sensor imagery,
and other tactical or navigation information. One of the key features and
operational benefits of this display is its high quality stroke to raster
conversion in all modes of operation.
The 5x5 FPCD incorporates a modular, open design architecture making
it easily adaptable to other aircraft platforms undergoing retrofit / modernization.
A video and stroke processor converts RGB video and analog stroke inputs to
digital formats to the AMLCD. This feature allows the display to be directly
compatible with legacy analog display processors configured to drive raster
stroke CRT displays with no aircraft modification required (plug and play).
This video and stroke processor is easily removed for applications requiring a
digital interface.
