A 2 K*2 K high resolution display and graphics workstation for air traffic control applications

Abstract

Summary form only given. The authors describe the Chromatics MX2500 monitor, a cost-effective large-screen cathode ray tube (CRT) display that will serve as the platform for applications that contain large amounts of data and require ultrahigh resolution. It is a display medium that will support the increasing demand for improved man/machine visual interface. The MX2500 monitor is designed to be compatible with signal levels and timing requirements of existing 2 K*2 K graphics controllers while adapting to the higher-performance formats of the chromatics graphics computer. A uniquely developed 27" precision in-line gun high-resolution shadow mask color display tube is used to present a 20" by 15" viewable display area. This CRT has a phosphor dot pitch of 0.29 mm, which offers a substantial increase in display performance over other large-screen monitors. A bonded anti-reflection coated panel is used to reduce front surface flare and enhance the ergonomic and safety aspects of the display monitor.<>
