Avionics
Avionic displays are a key market for Dontech optical filters. They are provided stand alone or integrated as part of our enhancements to touchscreens and displays. Dontech supports display and touchscreen enhancements for all types of aircraft (i.e., fixed wing, rotary aircraft, and space-based platforms), and mobile and fixed displays (e.g., cockpit entertainment) used in flight operations. Common enhancements include reflection control/sunlight readability, EMI/RFI shielding, night vision imaging system (NVIS) compatibility, and transparent heating solutions to optimize high-performance avionic systems. Current applications include optical, electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC), and environmental enhancement of primary and secondary flight displays, single or multi-functional, touch and non-touch, and heads up and heads down display formats.
