Performance

The 1210 Digital Ruggedized Display (DRD) is a lightweight, reliable, 1280 x 1024 color display with a 21" diagonal screen. It has very wide viewing angles and meets various MIL-STD-810 environmental and stress requirements. It can display color graphic, text and video data at various frame rates. Screen sizes can be extended easily up to 40" with high commonality in electronic components.

The 1210 Digital Ruggedized Display uses Digital Light Processing (DLPTM) technology. Digital Light Processing (DLPTM) is the new digital display technology. It is the final link in the chain that provides a complete digital video information structure. DLPTM technology manipulates light digitally to produce all-digital images. The key to this complete digital process is the Texas Instruments Digital Micromirror Device (DMDTM), a thumbnail-size semiconductor light switch consisting of an array of thousands of microscopic-size mirrors.

The DMDTM uses semiconductor technology to combine electronic, mechanical and optical functionality.

Outstanding Image Quality

  • Bright projection display - high light throughput efficiency
  • Large-area flicker-free displays
  • High contrast ratio
  • Wide viewing angles, without color or gray scale inversion
  • Distortion-free image - unlike CRT displays
  • Pure color fidelity without adjustments
  • Zero persistance or lag (no smearing or retention of moving data)
  • Zero color convergence problems

Compact packaging for large displays

  • Lightweight (less than half of a comparable CRT)
  • Compact (21" fits into standard 19" equipment rack)
  • Proven performance at harsh environmental extremes (temperature, vibration, shock, altitude, salt fog)

Fully digital high resolution flat screen display

  • 1280 * 1024 individually addressable pixels
  • Square pixels with high pixel fill factor
  • Inherently clean graphic displays
  • Images can be created, processed, distributed, stored and displayed
  • Can interface to sensors or computers, yielding cleanest image possible
  • Ability to add processing to enhance feature or video quality
  • Scalable to any size
  • Reduced life cycle costs
  • 21" workstations
  • 35" map tables
  • 40" to 60" command centre displays

Features

Large area MIL-SPEC CRT's in use in C4I workstations are unreliable, unmaintainable, and replacements are difficult to obtain. All branches of the Armed Forces are faced with having to replace displays in existing platforms, as well as to procure displays for new programs.

Compared to existing CRT's, the 1210 DRD is:

  • 1/4 weight
  • 40% of depth
  • 25* longer MTBF
  • Lower Cost
