Touch Panel Technology for LCD and Other Displays

Learn how major touch technologies work, compare their tradeoffs, and connect sensors, controllers and HID interfaces to real display applications.

Explore 22 chapters spanning commercial, industrial, avionics and NVIS, military and ground transport use. Chapters 1, 2 and 7 include narrated videos, with animated teaching models, reading pages, chapter PDFs and a glossary available throughout the course.

NVIS Display Engineering — Spectra, Optics and Compatibility

Follow light from the backlight through the LCD, optical filters and front cover to the viewer and night-vision goggles. Explore MIL-STD-3009, spectral budgets, reflections, dimming, daylight contrast and practical measurement.

Chapter videos, reading pages, worked examples and follow-along PDFs connect the principles to display-engineering decisions. Explore the current chapters and course access details.

Platinum Cure Optical Bonding Silicone for LCD Displays

Connect LCD operation and polarizers to optical bonding, silicone chemistry, functional front covers, controlled manufacturing and display verification. Explore material selection, adhesion, cure control, bond mechanics and silicone enhancements.

Watch the introduction and preview Chapters 1–2. Further chapters and engineering resources are available through invitation enrollment. Includes narrated videos, chapter PDFs, worked calculations and a design capstone.

DO-160 Display Qualification: Components, Systems and Installation

Plan environmental qualification for fixed-wing and helicopter displays, from the LCD and optical stack to complete systems and aircraft installations. Explore temperature, pressure, vibration, EMI/EMC, acceptance criteria and supplier evidence.

Seven chapters, 19 reading pages and 156 slides include narrated videos for Chapters 1 and 2, seven analytical animations, current chapter PDFs, worked examples and a qualification-plan capstone. This living course is updated as chapters develop.

NVIS Lighting, Displays and Goggles

Explore NVIS lighting, displays, goggles and the environment as one system for aircraft, helicopters and ground applications. Trace backlight spectra through LCD filters and optical stacks, examine dimming and goggle image quality, and evaluate compatibility claims. Build practical understanding through spectral deep dives, interactive labs, a workbook and application scenarios.

Display Optical Testing: Contrast, Reflection & Ambient Performance

Learn practical methods for measuring display contrast, luminance and color uniformity, viewing angle and ambient-light performance. Compare specular and diffuse reflection, choose measurement geometry and use test patterns, integrating spheres and goniometers. Work through laboratory exercises and specification comparisons to connect measurement results with the display requirements that matter.

Optical Oracle™: Optical Enhancements & Sunlight Viewability

Use Optical Oracle™ to compare display stacks and optical enhancements for sunlight viewability. Explore cover glass, touch sensors, optical bonding, antireflection treatments, contamination and wear through worked scenarios. Follow reproducible comparisons, interpret model estimates and practice documenting design tradeoffs with a learner workbook, reference guides and a capstone exercise.
