`Hi Joe,

Its one of the new OLED (Organic Light emitting diode) displays 1.5" on the diagonal. The OLED eliminates several of the limitations of LCD. 1. It has very high contrast and is very visible in high light situations which can wash out some times of LCDs. 2. It has a viewing angle of 160 degrees meaning you can still read it at angles where an LCD simply blanks out (visually).

I have tried probably six different displays from the time I first got started. I was not happy with any until this OLED display. They are very reasonable in price compared to LCDs.

The display was probably developed for cell phones originally.

If you want more specifics let me know.

Actually, Thomas, I am enjoying it too much to really want to turn it into a product {:>). Then I'll have to deal with "customers" {:>). But I think there is a place for a small number - particularly in aircraft where there is not much instrument space.

But, yes, it is a bit addictive - I have more want-to-do projects on the list that I have years left to finish them.

I've had a prototype AOA sitting on my work bench for some time that I want to get into my aircraft for some test flights, but finally decided I had to get something to a "final" and finished state. I was thinking about hooking it into a GPS for gallons/mile, fuel to next check point, etc, but decided that if I didn't stop it at this point - It would never get finished.

I would really like to get to work on a very low cost wing leveler (not autopilot) using MSM gyros and accelerometers - I have most of a design, but no time(yet).

Thanks again for the complement.

Ed

Ok Dave,

Just for you, here are a few screens from the new color graphics display (1.5" on the diagonal). The photos don't do the display justice - its bright, high contrast, does not wash out in bright light and can be viewed from a 160 deg angle - something you couldn't do with an LCD.

One photo shows the EC2 fuel map (both the low and high rpm maps) along with manifold pressure and indication of which bar is being used. The other 3 photos shows the Operational Screen and a colored ball indicates the A/F Ratio red-lean,yellow-medium,green-rich.

More photos to follow

Ed
