75 mm character LCD for airport terminal or moving messages
Large alphanumeric LCD Five 75 mm high, 16 segment characters make up a liquid crystal display from UCE. The display draws 5/~A at 5 V and is claimed to offer a viewing angle of 130°. The overall glass dimensions are 100 mm high, 255 mm wide and 3 mm thick. The introduction of a production compatible LCD of this size is significant, claims UCE, in this standard product or m a customized design as a digital replacement to analogue formats. The LCD is designed to be legible 50 m away. A custom, high information density display of similar size can be used in applications from automotive dashboards to portable electronic games for group participation.

Flight simulation overhaul Modernization of NASA's simulation and remotely piloted research vehicle (RPRV) computer system for the Simulation and RPRV Laboratory at its Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Facility is to be conducted bv Cubic Defence Systems. The contract, worth over $2 million, covers design, configuration, integration, installation and testing of a new system. The computer systems will help to develop programs for flight simulation and to meet research and operational needs, including the remote flying of high risk aircraft technology. Efficiency and quality of data gathering is said to be improved using the Cubic hardware and software to aid advance aircraft development.

LED arrays for laser systems
Portable oscilloscope CRT
Thin film hybrid techniques are used on a range of seven-segment LED arrays from Ferranti. Twelve letters can be generated on the miniature displays in addition to the usual numbers. The standard range displays incorporate four LED digits with their associated decimal points and two status indicators. Assemblies of up to 38 digits in complexity including decimal points can be supplied to order.
Portable and compact oscilloscopes and other read-out devices are the intended market for a general purpose mono-accelerator instrument oscilloscope tube announced by Philips. The tube is claimed to have improved performance and offers easier, and therefore less expensive, mounting and fewer tube adjustments.
The LED displays are offered either as

Dynamic deflection defocusing correction ensures that the resolution remains high - typically five lines per milli-
metre - even at the edge of the screen. The tube also has internal magnetic correction for astigmatism. This means that equipment manufacturers do not need to make any separate astigmatism adjustments. Vertical eccentricity is also corrected, limiting the maximum eccentricity of the undeflected spot to 3 mm, reducing the peak-to-peak vertical scan voltage required. The screen of the tube is flat and rectangular with a 70 x 56 mm scan.

Positively not a flicker A black-on-white flickerless display is the key to the ergonomic design of TEC's ET 80 terminal. The high resolution 380 mm CRT has an etched screen to reduce glare and 256 displayable characters. 25 lines of 80 charact e r s a r e f o r m e d o n a 7 x 1 1 d o t matrix in a 9 x 14 field. The terminal is claimed to meet recommendations and requirements of German ergonomics bodies.
