In difficult circumstances, time is of the essence. Especially when you are miles up in the air. A millisecond can make a huge difference. With its newest high integrity large area display, ScioTeq helps visualize all the pilot’s needed information with best-in-class optical performance and reliability, with a product fit for extreme environments as seen in trainers, fighters, military air transport and all rotary wing platforms.  

Large area displays are becoming a standard in both military and civil platforms. The fact of having more display surface to show more information, provides the pilots with increased levels of situational awareness. ScioTeq is not the first to introduce a 20×8 avionics grade large area display, but now brings the best LAD to the market. 

“We only launch a product when we are 100 percent sure that our solution will be the best offering and as such, we have full confidence in our RDU-4208 LAD becoming the new market standard. The full redundant LAD can be deployed in new cockpits, but is also perfect for cockpit upgrades, e.g. with its color tuning capabilities allowing to mimic existing display color performance. Because of the minimized SWaP-C signature, the RDU-4208 LAD is fit for installation in very confined spaces like in trainer and fighter cockpits, never interfering with the ejection seat trajectory. As with all ScioTeq avionics grade displays, the LAD is certifiable to DO-178C Level A for software and DO-254 Level A for hardware.” says Jan Deraedt, product manager. 

With its 35 years’ experience in the avionics display market, starting as a division at Barco, but now fully independent, ScioTeq assures the best optical performance. Because of the in-house developed backlight technology, the Large Area Display is NVIS class B and A compliant, and does not compromise on the full color gamut performance in DAY mode. The display output stays the same over time and temperature because of the white point stabilization. 

The in-house optical bonding of the display makes sure that the reflections are minimized, resulting in a full sunlight readability at minimal power consumption. 

The keyboard is front mounted, for easy on-aircraft replacement. The redundant multi-touch touch screen is compatible with any type of stylus including all types of gloves, and operates even in the harshest EMC environments. 

The ScioTeq LAD is full MIL-STD qualified (Environmental qualification to MIL-STD-810G, EMI/EMC qualification to MIL-STD-461E and power qualification to MIL-STD-704E)
