Mission Displays often encounter direct and indirect sunlight which can make reading displays difficult or impossible. This can result in reduced operational effectiveness and situational awareness. Curtiss-Wright displays use circular polarizers to ensure glare and reflections are kept to a minimum. Find out more about our range of Anytime Readability Displays in our video.

Rugged Displays with Anytime Readability
Sunlight Readability
- Mission Displays often encounter direct and indirect sunlight
- This can make reading displays difficult or impossible
The effect of sunlight on a non-Curtiss-Wright Mission display
An unreadable display means:
- Reduced operational effectiveness
- Reduced situational awareness
- Increased risk of missing a crucial event
Some assume making the display brighter is the solution. This is not the case – unless the backlight is brighter than the sun!
Sunlight readability is not the only consideration Mission displays should also support night vision
The right solutions
- Laminate polarization and anti-reflective
- Circular polarizers minimize glare and reflections
- Dual-mode backlight provides true night vision compatibility
- Standard mission display vs AVDU mission display
Reflections and glare can result in reduced situational awareness and the possibility of missing a crucial event. Curtiss-Wright displays use circular polarizers to ensure glare and reflections are kept to a minimum
Anytime readability helps ensure you won’t miss a moment of the action
